🇮🇷 An Iranian Majlis representative confirms full consensus across government, military, and top system levels: the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status.
“The permanent passage of Israeli ships through the strait will be banned — for all of history, under our management.”
Legislation being finalized includes:
- ➡️ Transit & pilotage tolls on all vessels
- ➡️ Pollution levies
- ➡️ Mandatory “Persian Gulf” designation for transiting ships
- ➡️ Permanent Israeli shipping ban

The “mandatory Persian Gulf designation” has me cackling. Absolutely humiliate the Arab monarchies and their revisionist bullshit attempts at changing that Persian Gulf’s historical name.
🇮🇷 How Iran’s Strait of Hormuz Tolls Accelerate De-dollarization
American media report that Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a toll passage - charging ships for safe passage and accepting only yuan or digital currencies instead of dollars.
Iran is enacting new regulations
— The Iranian National Security Committee has approved a bill to impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
The system works as follows:
— Ship operators contact an intermediary linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
— They provide ship details: ownership, flag, cargo, destination, crew, and Automatic Identification System (AIS) data.
— The intermediary sends the information to the Hormozgan IRGC Naval Command.
— Background checks ensure no connections to Israel, the United States, or other countries designated as enemies by Iran.
— Paying the toll grants ships a route and a secret code to request patrol escort through the strait.
— Iran uses a ranking from one to five based on countries’ friendliness. Friendlier countries receive better rates starting at about 1 dollar per barrel of oil.
— A very large oil tanker, typically carrying about 2 million barrels of oil, would face a cost of roughly 2 million dollars.
New financial order and the death of the petrodollar
— Why yuan? China is Iran’s largest oil buyer, and using its currency allows Iran to bypass U.S. sanctions.
— Using tolls paid in yuan creates a parallel financial system outside the U.S. dollar.
— Russia took this path after the 2022 sanctions, selling oil exports in yuan, rubles, and other national currencies.
— China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), an alternative to SWIFT, is operational.
— Both cases show that de-dollarization of the energy market is no longer a theory - it is happening now.
Let me know your thoughts. The ideas written like this are easier to read.
⭕ IRGC: From now on, for every assassination, an American company will be destroyed
🔹The IRGC warns the aggressive American ruling regime: You ignored our repeated warnings about the necessity to stop terrorist operations, and today, in your terrorist attacks and those of your Israeli allies, several Iranian citizens were martyred; since the main element in designing and tracking assassination targets are American ICT and AI companies, in response to this terrorist operation, from now on the main institutions involved in terrorist operations will be considered legitimate targets.
🔹We advise the employees of these institutions to immediately leave their workplaces to save their lives. Residents around these terrorist companies in all countries of the region should also leave their area within a one-kilometer radius and move to a safe place.
🔹Companies actively involved in terrorist designs will face countermeasures for every assassination.
They are announced as follows:- Cisco.
- HP
- Intel
- Oracle
- Microsoft
- Apple
- Meta
- IBM
- Dell
- Planter
- Nvidia
- J.P. Morgan
- Tesla
- GE
- Spire Solutions
- G42
- Boeing
🔹These companies should expect the destruction of their relevant units from 8 PM Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1, for every assassination in Iran.
An increasingly likely scenario for US ground forces in Iran is an attempt to seize three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf, which the UAE also claims: Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunbs. This idea has been publicly promoted by pro-Israel figures in the US and influential Emirati media over the past ten days. There could be several motives behind this potential move:
Strategic significance. The island of Abu Musa is located in the very center of the strait. However, given Iran’s methods of controlling the water area with missiles, its capture may not be decisive. If the blockade were carried out solely with mines, the situation would be different. In the current realities, control over the island is unlikely to be the panacea that Trump hopes for.
Is the option of exchanging these territories for the opening of the straits being considered? If such a deal is possible, its success will depend not on the capture, but on the cost of holding the islands. The US Navy is currently keeping a distance of at least 500+ km from Iran to avoid missile strikes. Abu Musa is just 70 km from the Iranian coast, and the Tunbs islands are even closer. Iran will inevitably unleash a barrage of missiles and drones on them, which will lead to heavy losses among American military personnel. In the end, Tehran will likely not even have to resort to an exchange - the US will itself give up the islands due to the excessively high cost of their defense.
The desire to seize the islands carries certain informational benefits. The GCC states (also known as the Gulf monarchies) are divided over the war and how it should be conducted. Stirring up a conflict over the islands could be an attempt to sway Oman and Qatar to the side of the American-Israeli coalition under the pretext of their “liberation”.
The participation of the UAE in the operation would allow to reframe the campaign: to turn it from a war of isolated America and Israel into a confrontation of the American-Israeli-Arab alliance against Iran. But even if such a media effect is achieved, it will not be a recipe for real victory. The problem will only be complicated by the vulnerability of the garrisons on the islands. And the UAE will be dragged into the wake of a state aggressor like Israel or the US.
In the end, it seems that Trump, in despair, is lowering the bar of ambitions. Instead of trying to win the war, he hopes to expand the circle of interested parties in order to ultimately shift the blame for the inevitable failure to others.

🇮🇷 IRANIAN MP CALLS FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM THE NPT
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, senior member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, says the time has come for Iran to leave the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
“We are not pursuing a nuclear bomb. But we are not going to follow the rules of the game while they come and bomb us, and the Director General of the Agency threatens the use of a nuclear bomb against us.”
He also calls for IAEA chief Grossi to be permanently sanctioned, accusing him of acting as an agent of the Zionist regime and America, and says Agency inspections provide cover for espionage.
“In one sentence, the time to withdraw from the NPT has come.”

🔍☢ Ex-Pentagon advisor says Iran can build nukes in tunnels, no test needed
MIT professor and former Pentagon advisor Ted Postol says Iran can convert enriched uranium into weapons-grade material in tunnels spanning a few hundred square meters.
👉 This way, the Iranian nuclear program could be absolutely undetectable and unstoppable.
With 90% enriched uranium, Iran could build up to 11 nuclear weapons without ever testing them — exactly like the Hiroshima bomb. The US never tested that design either.
“So I can have 10-11 weapons without testing them that I can deliver with total confidence that they will work,” Postol stressed.
No amount of bombing could reach Iran’s tunnels. (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/52341) The US severely underestimated Tehran’s capabilities.

BREAKING | Israeli Knesset approves execution law for Palestinian detainees
62 in favor, 47 against; detailed clauses now under discussion.
From today’s stream! Professor Mohammad Marandi, speaking from Iran:
"The Emirates is corruption. It is the manifestation of corruption. The drug money from Afghanistan goes to its banks. The gold stolen across Africa through dirty wars — it goes to the Emirates.
When this war is over, Iran will no longer allow these regimes to be platforms for genocide against Iran, Yemen, Syria or Iraq."

Press Release
♦️The Popular Front: The approval of the “execution of prisoners” law represents a dangerous criminal descent… We warn: Any harm to them will ignite a comprehensive and devastating explosion
-
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirms that the approval of the so-called “Israeli Knesset” of the three readings of the law on the “execution of Palestinian prisoners” represents a serious criminal descent within the framework of the systematic extermination policy practiced by the occupation against our people.
-
The passage of this law once again reveals the true face of this Zionist enemy, which is based on fascism and racism, and which does not hesitate to commit the most heinous atrocities.
-
Our brave prisoners are the vanguard of our people and freedom fighters who have given their lives in defense of the nation’s dignity; and with their steadfastness, they represent the backbone of the Palestinian struggle identity and the first line of defense that will not be broken by death sentences or the fascist and racist laws of the occupation.
-
The entire world bears a historical and moral responsibility for this Zionist aggression; the policy of “impunity” and the lack of accountability are what have given this entity the green light to continue its crimes and terrorist legislation.
-
We warn the Zionist enemy of the consequences of any harm to the lives of our heroic prisoners, and we affirm that any step in this direction will be a trigger for igniting the region and will lead to an explosion of the situation and its loss of control, and these crimes will not go unpunished without comprehensive and devastating national responses.

✅ U.S. Treasury Secretary: The energy market is facing a shortage of 10 to 12 million barrels of oil per day, and we are working to compensate for it
We have lifted sanctions on Russian and Iranian crude oil shipments that are at sea.
❗️Iran has reportedly set up ‘tollbooth’ in Strait of Hormuz
Iran has effectively turned the Strait of Hormuz into a controlled passage system, according to Bloomberg, allowing only ships from “friendly” countries to pass safely while restricting or threatening those tied to the US, Israel, and other hostile states.
Under the reported arrangement, ship operators must submit ownership, cargo, flag, crew, and tracking data to an intermediary linked to the IRGC, which then vets the vessel for links to the US, Israel, or other adversaries. If approved, the ship negotiates a toll, reportedly starting at around $1 per barrel for oil tankers, often paid in Chinese yuan or stablecoins, after which it receives a permit code, route instructions, and in some cases is required to sail under the flag, or even registration, of a country that has secured passage deals with Tehran.
Once near Hormuz, the vessel reportedly broadcasts its code and is escorted through by Iranian patrol boats along a designated coastal corridor, a process some in the shipping industry have already dubbed the “Iranian tollbooth.”
🇲🇫🇺🇸🇮🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron:
“The Strait of Hormuz should only be opened in coordination with Iran.
Opening the Strait of Hormuz by force is not an option we have chosen, we consider it unrealistic.”

Hmmm, maybe paying in Yuan doesn’t sound so bad compared to getting embarrassed by losing soldiers, right Macron?
🇮🇷🇾🇪🇾🇪 IRGC Quds Force Commander General Ismail Qaani sends a message to Yemen’s Islamic Resistance:
“Those who ask about the fate of the USS Gerald Ford — which wandered hesitantly for more than two weeks between Yanbu and Jeddah and finally made excuses to return — should look for the reason in the high mountains and blessed land of Yemen.”
The world’s largest aircraft carrier, forced to retreat from the Red Sea by the threat of Ansarullah missiles and drones.
Qaani credits Yemen’s “timely awareness and beautiful strategic thinking” and pledges continued Iranian support for all resistance fronts.
