Pirates vs pirates

News.com.au reports:

Global oil prices have soared by 9 per cent after US President Donald Trump declared the US will be “taking over” the Strait of Hormuz

He added that he will reinstate the Iranian blockade and impose 20 per cent charge on cargo ships.

So both Iran and the US are now demanding a massive fee for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Both are forms of piracy. Curses on both of them.

UPDATE: Trump has backed down on his piracy demand, but still what a world we live in.
