—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 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!’

— Someone send this to Qalibaf and Araqchi, genius plan

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 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.’

—❗️🇾🇪 Statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman, General Yahya Saree:

‘In its insistence on continuing the unjust siege against the Yemeni people, the Saudi enemy, at precisely 13:54 PM this Monday, launched a blatant attack using its warplanes against Sanaa International Airport.

By targeting it with a number of airstrikes with the aim of closing it to humanitarian flights carrying patients and stranded individuals, the Armed Forces engaged the enemy aircraft to repel this treacherous and cowardly attack.

In response to this criminal Saudi aggression, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting Abha International Airport with a number of ballistic missiles and drones. The operation successfully achieved its objectives, praise be to God.

The Saudi enemy, after its reckless decision to launch this unjust attack on Sanaa International Airport, bears full responsibility for the grave consequences of this brutal aggression, which serves the Zionist-American enemy, and all the resulting repercussions.

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their unwavering commitment to the cause of repelling this aggression and lifting the unjust blockade imposed on our country.

In this context, we warn all airlines against flying through Saudi airspace and urge them to take our warnings seriously until the blockade on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Islamic Republic of Iran for its assistance to the Republic of Yemen in lifting the blockade on Sanaa, and for facilitating humanitarian flights to and from the airport.

Greetings to our great people who have taken to the streets in massive public demonstrations in the capital, and in the provinces, districts, villages, and rural areas. And all praise to our loyal and noble tribes for their massive demonstrations and their authentic, faith-based, jihadist stances.

Our great people will not accept the continuation of the aggression and blockade, and their Armed Forces, with God's help, are fully prepared to take all necessary steps and measures to deter the aggression and lift this blockade.

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best of guardians, the best of protectors, and the best of helpers. Long live Yemen, free, dignified, and independent!’
