Following Iran's religious leader Mujtaba Khamenei, a statement regarding the Strait of Hormuz also came from U.S. President Donald Trump. While Khamenei stated, "We will take the management of the Strait of Hormuz to a new level," Trump referred to reports that Iran charges fees for tankers passing through the strait, urging Tehran, "It would be good if that were not the case, but if they are charging fees, they should put an end to it immediately."
US President Donald Trump evaluated the news regarding Iran charging fees for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz in a post on his social media account.
"IT WOULD BE GOOD IF THEY STOPPED IMMEDIATELY"
Trump stated, "There are reports that Iran is charging fees for tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. It would be good if they weren't, but if they are charging fees, it would be good if they stopped immediately."
FIRST STATEMENT FROM HAMANEY AFTER THE CEASEFIRE: A NEW PHASE BEGINS IN HORMUZ
On the other hand, Iranian leader Ayatollah Mujtaba Hosseini Khamenei issued a message on the 40th day of the death of the country's former leader Ali Khamenei, who lost his life in the attacks initiated by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28. Khamenei stated that they would definitely demand compensation for the material and spiritual damages caused by the war, saying, "We will never give up our legitimate rights. We will take the management of the Strait of Hormuz to a new phase." Khamenei emphasized that they do not want war and see the entire resistance front in the region as a whole, addressing his country's southern neighbors, "You are witnessing a miracle. Therefore, appear correctly, understand correctly, and stand in the right place."
TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN THE US AND IRAN, INCLUDING ISRAEL
After the attacks initiated by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28, which turned into a war with Iran's retaliations and attacks on some regional countries, US President Donald Trump announced on April 8 that he accepted the ceasefire.
Trump stated that they accepted a two-week ceasefire on the condition of the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, that they received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and that this was a feasible basis for negotiation.
The Iranian National Security High Council, which stated that "Iran has achieved its goals in the war," also reported that the final negotiations are aimed to be concluded in Islamabad within a maximum of 15 days.
Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt made intense efforts for the continuation and resolution of the message exchange between the US and Iran.
The Israeli government, which announced its support for the temporary ceasefire, continues its attacks on Lebanon, arguing that the agreement does not include the issue of Lebanon.
