Indian embassy staff left kabul today after shutting down embassy in Afghanistan

Remember the 20 Pakistani vessel deal that the Minister and Trump boasted about? Ok, earlier this week, Iran agreed to allow 20 "Pakistani" vessels to transit through the strait, but Pakistan only had 6 ships or thereabouts. So Islamabad began reaching out the world’s biggest commodity traders like Vitol & Trafigura to see if they had vessels that could transit Hormuz while temporarily sailing under a Pakistani flag. Message 1: the Pakistani wanted to play big league without any vessels. Little crooks. Anyway, if a vessel makes the smell test cut, the discussions over the toll begin. Iranians apparently have a ranking system of 1-5 for nations, with ships from countries that are seen as "friendly" more likely to get better terms. Putin style. I'm sure Trump loves that new world order. Except, that he isn't on the friendly list. How much? For oil tankers, the STARTING price in the negotiations is $1 per barrel of oil, paid in yuan or stablecoins. That's $2m for VLCC, $1m for a Suezmax etc. Once the toll is paid, the IRGC issues a permit code and route instructions. Ships are expected to raise the flag of the nation that negotiated the passage agreements, and in some instances, to change their official registration to that country. As it approaches the Strait of Hormuz, the ship broadcasts its passcode over its very high frequency radio, and is met by a patrol boat that escorts it through the passage, close to the coast between a group of islands that was dubbed “the Iranian tollbooth” by the Lloyds List guys. Meanwhile, the Iranian parliament is working on a draft bill that would impose a fee on vessels seeking safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the semi-official Fars news agency. Fars, citing an unnamed lawmaker, said the plan would be finalized next week, and would legally recognize Iran’s oversight of Hormuz. Message 2: The new maritime order is taking shape. Does anybody have the details of that 1-5 ranking system list? Asking for a friend

Franklin Graham: "Let us pray… Father, you tell us in the Book of Esther that the Persians—the Iranians—were wanting to kill every Jew…and do it all in one day…" "Today, the Iranians—the wicked regime of this govt—wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire, but you have raised up Pres. Trump."
