U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that the US and Iran are launching a ‘joint venture’ in the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran prepares to rake in $1 million per vessel.
Trump announced last night that Iran has agreed to a two-week ceasefire and will reopen the oil artery while a 10-point peace plan is considered by both sides.
The exact terms have not been agreed but Iran wants to charge tolls of up to $1 million on ships that pass through the Strait during the two-week period, an unnamed Middle East official told the Associated Press.
Trump welcomed the idea on Wednesday, telling ABC: ‘We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it – also securing it from lots of other people.
‘It’s a beautiful thing.’
The Strait, through which a fifth of the world’s oil flows, has now become known as the ‘Tehran Tollbooth’, according to Bloomberg.
Ship owners go through a complex and expensive process of negotiation which includes middlemen, foreign currency and crypto transactions.
The ships must inform intermediary companies linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of the ship’s cargo, destination, and ultimate owner.
Iran then charges a ‘toll’ of at least $1 per barrel – and this must be paid in Chinese yuan or cryptocurrency.
The average rate for a single oil tanker is $2 million. If everything is approved, IRGC boats will finally provide an escort into and out of the ‘tollbooth’.
Some analysts believe it could make as much as $500 billion in five years.
The exact terms of the peace deal have not been revealed.
Trump said Wednesday: ‘They are very good points – and most of them have been fully negotiated. If it isn’t good, we’ll go right back to it very easily.’
The ten-point plan, reported by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, says that the US should accept Tehran’s continued control over the Strait, recognize its right to uranium enrichment, lift all sanctions, pay compensation, and withdraw all troops from the region.
Trump vowed that Iran will not be able to enrich uranium and that the US will coordinate with Tehran to extract ‘nuclear dust’ buried deep underground after airstrikes.
The President wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday: ‘There will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 bombers) nuclear “dust.”‘
According to the White House the safety of the uranium was confirmed before an eleventh hour deal was struck.
‘Nothing has been touched from the date of attack,’ Trump said, claiming that the nuclear site has been watched closely since it was bombed.
It is not clear whether Trump was referring to the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, or to more recent strikes during the current Iran war.
Trump said that tariff and sanctions relief were being discussed as part of a peace plan with ‘many’ points already agreed.
Trump described the deal as ‘total and complete victory’ on Tuesday night.
The US and Iran will now engage in negotiations over the next two weeks, buying some time to try to reach a permanent settlement.
It is unlikely to be smooth sailing, but in after-hours trading, the price of a barrel of oil dropped below the $100 mark for the first time in days, and US stock futures soared.
Following the confirmation of the deal, the US President hailed ‘a big day for world peace’ after agreeing to pause the attacks.
