Conflicts over strategic and commercial waterways—especially straits and canals—are nothing new. Back in 1507, the Portuguese decided to set up a fortress to control the Strait of Hormuz. It taxed commerce for a century before Persia and Britain joined forces to evict them.
Today, Iran is attempting to claim the toll-keeper role that Portugal once played, demanding that any permanent peace deal recognize its right to impose fees on ships passing through the strait.
The theocratic tyranny that has ruled in Tehran for 47 years wants to determine who can trade through one of the world’s great choke points—and what they must pay for the privilege.
This cannot stand. The Iranian regime must not be allowed to turn the seven other states that border the Persian Gulf, most of them good friends of the United States, into its vassals.
Nor should the rest of the world submit to Iran’s extortions.

Irankriget har gjort Trump farligare
Donald Trump kallar vapenvilan med Iran för en seger, trots att Teherans maktmedel består och världen skakas av följderna av kriget.
Förmågan att hota med maximal kraft och sedan beskriva reträtten som triumf gör honom inte bara oförutsägbar, utan också farligare.
En annan växande risk är att Trump börjar tro på sin egen berättelse om seger och nästa gång vill visa ännu större styrka. Det gäller särskilt om Iran fortsätter att stärka sitt grepp om Hormuzsundet och ta ut tullar som Trump anser borde gå till USA.

US president’s ceasefire deal is fraying, the hawks in his alliance are sceptical and Tehran still controls the strait.
The US president’s plan for vice-president JD Vance to lead talks in Pakistan points to the urgency, but the faultlines are vast, from Israel’s strikes on Lebanon to Iran’s enriched uranium and willingness — or not — to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“It’s one thing to declare a ceasefire on social media and it’s another thing to actually have an agreement where people have a shared understanding of the terms,” said Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute think-tank in Washington.

The US wants specific commitments from European allies on their pledge to help secure the Strait of Hormuz after the fighting in Iran stops, requesting that the countries present concrete plans to ensure navigation through the waterway within days, according to a senior NATO official.
Merz Says Germany Wants a UN Mandate to Secure Strait of Hormuz
Chancellor Friedrich Merz told President Donald Trump that Germany would back a mission to secure sea lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, but that it would first need an international mandate.
Merz said German involvement in securing the sea lanes would also require approval from Germany's lower house of parliament.

RE: My enemy's enemy is my friend.
Inslamisterna är min fiende. Därmed blir Trump min vän.
Trump hotade med att bomba broar. Inslamiserna sände ut sitt folk som "Human shields".
Det höga bensinpriset gjorde att väljarna hotade att rösta på demokraterna.
Det som skett är en stor framgång för islamister världen över.
Dagen innan.
