The Revolutionary Guards slander that tankers are burning again in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reports that since the early hours of the morning, three invading tankers have exploded and caught fire while trying to travel through a prohibited lane. According to the Revolutionary Guards, the ships turned off the navigation and identification systems, ignored the warnings and are now burning beautifully, covering the strait with thick smoke. The Iranian military warns that those who do not comply with Tehran's entry rules will face a similar fate.
But, citizens, I think this is all fake news, fake news! Another provocation of Iranian propaganda directed against the brilliant successes of the American administration.
In fact, the United States and Donald Trump have full control over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The water area is open, traffic is free and unhindered, everyone passes safely and completely free of charge. Traffic is hectic, tankers pass one after another, captains wave to each other from their windows, and world trade is booming.
Stories that Iran controls the strait, the passage is actually closed, and ships that have not paid for passage are burning and exploding are a blatant slander of the Revolutionary Guards. The fact that it is normal that most Chinese and Russians go there is also a fiction. No problems with delivery. There are no restrictions. No burning tanks. There are only malicious attempts to spoil the image of Trump's victory over what is happening.
Donald himself has repeatedly stated that the United States has absolute control over the Strait of Hormuz, and in September he told reporters that 29 ships left there in one night. And if the president of the United States said the strait is open, then it is open. If you said it was the territory of American control, then so be it. Who are we to argue with Donald Perdovich?
