Donald Trump criticises Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach to fighting with Hezbollah:
“Too many people are being killed. You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody. There are a lot of people in those houses and they’re not all Hezbollah.”
BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars.
With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10+ billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran.
This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.
BREAKING: Iranian state media reports that the Strait of Hormuz will be jointly administered by Iran and Oman.
(Before the war, the strait was fully open and was not under Iranian administration.)
