🇮🇷🇺🇸 Trump declared the U.S. the "Guardian of the Hormuz Strait" and said ships would be charged 20% on all cargo.
Iran's FM Araghchi responded within hours:
"POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides safe passage should be compensated. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN.
20% is of course too much. We will be fair."

JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS, BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS UNFAIR, BUT BLOCKING OIL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA IN ORDER TO COLLAPSE THEIR WHOLE COUNTRY, IS FAIR 🤔 DID I GET THAT RIGHT 🙄
If you believe that an ex-radio presenter, a failed ex-radio DJ and failed actor managed to pull this off by themselves, I have the Nelson Mandela Bridge to sell you. Mossad and CIA fingerprints are all over this thing but ingxaki some of yall don't read history!
To be saying Free Palestine 🇵🇸, Free Congo 🇨🇩, Free Sudan 🇸🇩 etc and then say fuck Africans is one of the most nonsensical things I’ve seen in these social media streets
The march is over, Jacinta is sitting in her mansion counting millions she made. The Intelezi twins will both be gifted with bakkies again and business deals.
Then there's you, busy nursing amakhonsi wakho because you walked the whole day for nothing. Still unemployed! 😭😭
Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

I hope South Africa isn't blaming African migrants from Zimbabwe, Malawi, Nigeria, Ghana, Somalia, Ethiopia...etc for the 2.0 beating and two red cards in the game against Mexico. We Africans are innocent.
I must make it clear that only the authorised government officials may act against violations of the law, including violation of our immigration laws.
No other person is allowed, for example, to confront someone in the street to demand proof of nationality.
