The Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
"Egypt charges hundreds of thousands of dollars for every passage through the Suez Canal, with fees exceeding one million dollars for large container ships and tankers. Turkey imposes transit fees for vessels passing through the Bosphorus Strait. Canada charges fees for the St. Lawrence Seaway. Panama collects hundreds of thousands of dollars per transit, reaching up to 500,000 dollars for large Neo-Panamax vessels. The United States also charges fees related to the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Yet when Iran keeps the Strait of Hormuz open for free passage for decades, without imposing any transit fees, despite facing sanctions, isolation, and relentless accusations, it is portrayed as the problem.
Isn’t it hypocritical to condemn Iran while ignoring the fact that many other countries profit from controlling vital waterways? And you still expect me to believe that Iran is the ‘bad guy’ here?"
BREAKING: China directly rejects Trump's latest Truth Social claim that Xi told him China would not sell weapons to Iran under any circumstances, saying "as a comprehensive strategic partner, China strongly supports Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty, security, and national dignity."
Elon Musk is a racist Islamophobe.
Here he is implying that all Muslims are rapists and want to impose laws and rules that are incompatible with the West after being asked whether he's anti-Muslim.
We all knew it, that's why he funds Tommy Robinson and Rupert Lowe.
So Israeli settlers attack a Palestinian village, throw gasoline through a window onto a baby, nearly burning the young child alive, and beat a pregnant woman with stones.
Zero Western media coverage.
The complicity runs so deep...
Iran has been bullied, plundered, terrorized, sanctioned and attacked for decades.
Iran suffered -but never retaliated.
Yemen has been under the most brutal blockade, aimed at starving an entire population, for over a decade.
Yemen suffered -but never retaliated.
They endured unimaginable suffering despite having strategic power over the entire world economy.
They chose to suffer when the world was watching them die of starvation, being attacked and assassinated.
Not anymore. The era of terrorism, subjugation and oppression by the global elites is over.
Both Straits are now closed.
Let that orange fuck open it if he can.
📌 China openly challenges Trump 🇨🇳🇺🇸
Trump: "We need two billion dollars a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz."
Chinese Foreign Minister: "The Strait was open before the war. The root of the problem lies in your illegal actions against Iran; you have created a global crisis out of nothing."
Iran put everything it had on the line, everything, to stop the most heinous crimes, the crime of crimes and the supreme crime of aggression, in our time.
Standing completely alone in the world, it tied its own destiny to the people of Palestine and Lebanon.
And it almost succeeded.
Now imagine if only one, just ONE, other nation had stood with Iran on this issue.
Not a single country pressed Israel and the US to commit to the MOU.
Not a single one of the nuclear powers and all those self proclaimed ambassadors of peace.
Not a single neighboring Arab country.
Not even Lebanon itself.
They all just stood by and watched Iran fight alone and pay the price.
What an absolutely despicable and disgusting world we have created.
@tedcruz The Jews claim to Israel is based on their ethnicity. The DNA test would be for that reason similar to how your name has to be on title for ownership.
Don’t conflate this dipshit
