Iran demands $1 per barrel of oil passing through Strait of Hormuz, paid in crypto​

Iran reportedly intends to require ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz to pay the cryptocurrency equivalent of $1 per barrel of oil on board during the two-week ceasefire with the U.S.

Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, which works with Iran’s government, told the Financial Times about the requirement on Wednesday.

He said that it will cost $1 per barrel of oil and that ships need to email Iranian authorities about what they are carrying.

“Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions,” Hosseini told the newspaper.

He added that the measures are being put in place to make sure that weapons are not carried through the strait.

They're just begging for another bruising. See the shit we have to put up with?

A two week cease fire makes them think they've won something.

This gets more fun by the day!

This in itself is sufficient reason to take down the ayatollahs.

AI Overview

Yes, the Strait of Hormuz is considered an international waterway, though it lies within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. Under international law (UNCLOS), it is a designated "international strait," granting all ships and aircraft the right of transit passage, which cannot be legally impeded. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Legal and Geographic Details:

• Legal Status: It is governed by international maritime law, allowing for free passage, rather than falling under the exclusive control of either adjacent nation.
• Territorial Waters: At its narrowest point (about 33 km), the shipping lanes fall within the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters of Iran and Oman.
  • Right of Passage: Even in times of conflict, the right of "transit passage" applies, meaning vessels have the right to travel through, as long as it is continuous and expeditious.
  • Disputes: Despite its status as an international waterway, Iran sometimes asserts control over the strait, leading to tensions regarding navigation freedom. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

I don't know. What does the son of SHAH say?

1% surcharge? Not forever? Is the newest regime on a path to good? Then so be it.

If Iran's regime was changed to a secular Democratic country with free elections, I would have no problem with a 1% surcharge to rebuild what we damaged.

That would be mighty white of us, so to speak.

Well you have to wait until it comes out of the the Coma.

Reports indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iran's new Supreme Leader, is in a coma and receiving treatment for severe injuries in the holy city of Qom. According to diplomatic memos based on US and Israeli intelligence, the 56-year-old leader is unconscious, suffering from a ruptured liver or stomach, and has lost at least one leg, leaving him incapacitated and unable to make decisions.

 

[candycorn]

And you guys complained about the deal Obama signed that actually did stop Iran from getting a nuke. Our current orange blob agreed to a deal.

They get to keep their uranium (the hilarious reason we gave for bombing them in the first place)
and control of the Strait of Hormuz

What did we get.

300+ injured Americans
Dead Soldiers
Gas over $4 a gallon
Even more isolation

And? The regime is still in place.

ALLEGEDLY already blocking the strait over complaints about Israel in Lebanon?

While two vessels were permitted to pass early Wednesday after Trump’s initial announcement, the gates have since been slammed shut. Iran claims the “suspension” is a response to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

They're all over the place. There are pieces of them here and pieces of them there...

It's interesting who Trump let live, though. It's been widely reported that an often tense rivalry exists between the regular Iranian Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC is a parallel, ideologically driven force with superior funding and political power, which has led to institutional resentment from the conventional army, which often suffers from neglect and inferior resources.

There's a method behind the madness.

All of the Ayatollahs and half the IRGC leadership is dead, and the mullah-munchers like Zincwarrior are still crowing that Iran is "winning".

The delusionary power of late-stage TDS is undeniable.

 

[WelfareQueen]

The ceasefire is a joke. Nothing has changed. Trump said the Strait of Hormuz must be fully opened and he would only accept unconditional surrender from Iran.

Neither has happened. Trump tried to bluff and lost. The only option now is to bomb them back to the stone age and live with the consequences.

This is a ******* fiasco.

He really does have a tendency to want to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I see this as THE mistake he has made. I really didn't want to see this, but gave him the benefit of the doubt last night.

[WelfareQueen]

Trump and his people have utterly screwed this up. The Iranians are laughing at us. Two weeks will go by wasted while we sit on our hands as Iran continues to dictate how things will go.

End it. Blow them the hell up or leave. Those are the options.
