I am not an expert in this at oil but from my perspective how does USA not put boots on the ground if the oil tankers Iran is letting through trade the oil in Yuan. That would completely ruin USA’s global influence through the petro dollar. USA won’t let that happen

Is the oil being traded in Yuan?
Did these 10 tankers pay Iran a fee for passage?
Honestly asking if anyone knows; I can’t find it as of yet.

Oh, THAT’S the “present” Trump was talking about. Trying to take credit as if this was a gift to appease him. He probably thinks it’s a big win for him. But the fact is, Iran can now demand ransom for every ship it allows thru. If anything, this helps their bargaining position.

We look so incredibly stupid. Talk a big game and then turn around begging for help. SMH

Their source for this is “Trump said”….
Name the 10 ships so I can check their AIS or this is fake news with unreliable source

This would make an excellent Trojan horse scenario.

This sub is utter garbage and infested with bots/shills. Every post I see has ~80% of users with accounts less than 6mon old. I was against it at first, but honestly, bring on ID verification.

Is it a gift if Iran created the shortage in the first place?

People can’t just assume that what the President says has any relation to reality.
A more accurate headline would be “Trump claims ten oil tankers moved through Strait of Hormuz, but no verification provided.”
