Trump: blockade of Iranian maritime transport only and replacement of 20 per cent US compensation with Gulf investment

On 14 July, the President of the United States, Trump, wrote that oil was unprecedented in its liquidity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except Iran — which is excluded because its leadership is full of lies, violence and malice, leading the country to the abyss of total destruction. We will impose a full-scale blockade, but only on vessels that travel to or from Iranian ports or carry goods related to Iranian cargo. I have decided to remove the requirement of “United States 20 per cent compensation” and replace it with a trade and investment agreement between the Gulf States and the United States. The magnitude of these investments will be enormous. The days of hundreds of thousands of deaths in Iran are over and, more importantly, Iran will never possess nuclear weapons
