—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social announces a blockade against Iran and 20% tolls on non-Iranian ships in Hormuz:

‘The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait.

The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The U.S. released footage using naval suicide drones against Iranian military dockyards

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Notice how this entire facility is already destroyed?

These are just PR attacks. No actual military value is left in most of these targets. Good job bombing an abandoned submarine dockyard.

@Middle_East_Spectator

There’s some insane visuals circulating of King Khalid Airbase being hit. Waiting to verify before posting.

One of the missiles failed, the other was intercepted.

At least one impact at each location.

— 🇮🇷/🇾🇪 WATCH: Footage of Iran’s ‘Mahan Air’ plane landing in Hodeidah earlier today to break the aerial siege against Yemen

The plane continued its journey despite the original destination’s runway being bombed (Sanaa) and after being threatened that it would be downed by the Saudi Air Force.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘President Trump is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.

Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait of Hormuz and will remain so FOREVER.

20% is of course too much. We will be fair.’

Yemeni Armed Forces will issue a statement in a few minutes.
