ホルムズ海峡の安全確保で「貨物の20％の対価」を請求…トランプ氏、イランへの海上封鎖も表明【news23】｜TBS NEWS DIG

Regarding ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump claimed he would demand 20% of the cargo's value as "compensation" for ensuring its safety. Under a clear blue sky, passersby and tourists photograph a magnificent golden trophy. This is a plaza near the White House. The trophy reads: "Awarding President Trump a 'Participation Prize' for his active participation in the war against Iran." The trophy was installed by an anonymous group of artists, seemingly as a protest against the US attacks on Iran. This group has previously installed various sculptures here, including arcade games, satirizing the Trump administration. Despite such criticism, US Central Command announced on the 12th that it had conducted its first-ever attack on Iran using seaplanes. The US military has attacked Iran for three consecutive days. They announced that the five-hour operation targeted various military targets. US President Trump "We possess a vast amount of ammunition and are launching fierce attacks. These attacks will continue." He also indicated that the US would soon target a mountain range in central Iran, where nuclear-related underground facilities are suspected to be located. Furthermore, he announced the resumption of blockades against ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. The measures will be implemented "from 5:00 AM Japan time on the 15th." Regarding the Strait of Hormuz… US President Trump (from social media) "We will be the guardians of the Strait of Hormuz." He declared that the US is the "guardian" and announced a policy of demanding compensation from other countries as a "reward" for ensuring safe navigation in the strait. US President Trump "We're going to get paid for protecting (the Strait of Hormuz). It's a lot of money, but we're putting our soldiers at risk, so we just want compensation." He stated the amount to be demanded is "20% of the value of the cargo." Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has also indicated its intention to collect a "service fee." In response to President Trump's demand for "compensation," Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi sarcastically asserted: Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi: "The American president is entirely correct. Those who provide safe and secure passage should receive compensation for that service." Iran has also claimed to have retaliated by attacking US military facilities in Bahrain and Jordan. In response to these developments, crude oil futures prices temporarily rose to over $81 per barrel, reaching their highest level in approximately one month. In the foreign exchange market, "safe-haven dollar buying" led to strong yen selling and dollar buying, causing the yen to weaken to the low 162 yen range against the dollar at one point. ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website: https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Subscribe to our channel [Easier access to the latest news]    / @tbsnewsdig   ▼NEWS DIG Latest News [Important information close at hand] https://www.google.com/preferences/so... ▼Submit information here: "TBS Insiders" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-ins... ▼Submit video here: "TBS Scoop Submission" https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.... #news #TBS #newsdig
