(3 hours ago)Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arghchi has mocked US President Donald Trump for his pledge to impose taxes on all goods passing through Hormzu's Strait, saying Iran will impose a lower fee.
“POTUS [Donald Trumpi] is absolutely right. Anyone offering safe trade ships to the Strait of Hormuz must be compensated for this service. Iran has always been a Guardian of Strait and will remain such forever. 20 percent, of course, is too much. We'll be right” wrote Iranian top diplomat on social networks.
Earlier Monday, the American president said his country would restore the naval blockade to Iranian ports in the Hormuz Strait and implement a 20 per cent tax on ships passing through to ensure security.
“We will re-establish the Iranian blockade, called because it will only prevent Iran's ships or consumers from entering or exit” the White House head wrote on the “Truth Social” network./ Periscope.
