Agi: Stretto di Hormuz, gli USA spingono per una risoluzione ONU contro pedaggi e mine iraniane AGI - Interrompere l'imposizione di pedaggi nello Stretto e la messa in posa di mine lungo la via d'acqua. Sono alcune delle richieste incluse nella risoluzione ONU redatta da alcuni Paesi, tra cui gli Stati Uniti, e che verrà presentata al Consiglio di sicurezza. "Ci sono cose molto semplici e dirette - ha spiegato l'ambasciatore USA Mike Waltz, incontrando i giornalisti - cessare gli attacchi alle navi commerciali; smettere di posare mine e rimuoverle da una via d'acqua internazionale; interrompere l'imposizione di pedaggi illegali nello Stretto di Hormuz e permettere alle Nazioni Unite di far passare aiuti umanitari, aiuti salvavita, attraverso quel corridoio internazionale. È davvero così semplice". "Il problema - ha aggiunto - è che proprio questa settimana i media statali iraniani hanno annunciato che il regime ha lanciato quella che chiama la 'Persian Gulf Straits Authority', con cui intende pretendere che tutte le navi - commerciali, civili, internazionali - debbano registrarsi e pagare una tangente, un pedaggio, per utilizzare queste vie d'acqua internazionali". Le implicazioni globali e la condanna "E questo non riguarda soltanto questa regione: riguarda il mondo intero. Immaginate. Immaginate se ci fossero due Paesi, indipendentemente dal conflitto, indipendentemente da chi abbia iniziato cosa, immaginiamo, ipoteticamente, Spagna e Marocco in disputa tra loro, che decidano di gettare mine marine nello Stretto di Gibilterra e poi inizino a chiedere denaro alle navi per attraversarlo, in un cinico tentativo di ottenere leva sull'altra parte, imponendo una punizione collettiva al mondo intero per risolvere una disputa bilaterale. È inaccettabile - ha concluso - immorale e illegale secondo il diritto internazionale". Hormuz Strait, the US is pushing for a UN resolution against Iranian tolls and mines. The UN – Stopping the imposition of tolls in the Strait and the laying of mines along the waterway. These are some of the requests included in the resolution drafted by some countries, including the United States, and which will be presented to the Security Council. “There are very simple and direct things – the US Ambassador Mike Waltz explained to the journalists – to cease attacks on commercial ships; to stop laying mines and removing them from an international waterway; to stop the imposition of illegal tolls in the Strait of Hormuz and allow the United Nations to allow humanitarian aid, life-saving aid, to pass through that international corridor. It’s really that simple.” “The problem – he added – is that just this week, Iranian state media announced that the regime has launched what it calls the ‘Persian Gulf Straits Authority’, with which it intends to demand that all ships – commercial, civilian, international – register and pay a bribe, a toll, to use these international waterways.” Global Implications and Condemnation “And this doesn’t just concern this region: it concerns the whole world. Imagine. Imagine if two countries, regardless of conflict, regardless of who started what, let’s hypothetically, Spain and Morocco in dispute with each other, decided to lay naval mines in the Strait of Gibraltar and then began to demand money from ships to cross it, in a cynical attempt to exert leverage on the other side, imposing collective punishment on the whole world to resolve a bilateral dispute. It is unacceptable – he concluded – immoral and illegal according to international law.” #HormuzStrait #Iranian #Strait #theUnitedStates #theSecurityCouncil #MikeWaltz #theStraitofHormuz #theUnitedNations #Spain #Morocco https://www.agi.it/estero/news/2026-05-08/iran-waltz-fine-pedaggi-no-mine-hormuz-36944637/

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | Profit for the biggest U.S. oil companies declined in 1st quarter – but only on paper by Michelle Chapman, Associated Press AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Profit for the two largest U.S. oil companies fell on paper in the first quarter because hedging contracts back‑fired after the U.S. and Israel struck Iran, effectively shutting the Strait of Hormuz and preventing physical oil deliveries; nonetheless, both Exxon Mobil and Chevron posted adjusted earnings that beat Wall Street forecasts, with Exxon reporting $4.18 billion in profit (adjusted to $1.16 per share) and $85.14 billion in revenue, and Chevron earning $2.21 billion (adjusted to $1.41 per share) on $48.61 billion in revenue. The apparent drop reflects one‑time “unfavorable timing effects” of the hedges, not an underlying loss of profitability. The results arrived as U.S. gasoline prices surged to multi‑year highs, pushing inflation and straining households and businesses dependent on fuel.

French President: We are bringing together 49 countries to reopen Hormuz, I think it is better when we involve everyone The bastard couldn't even stop selling weapons to Israel to stop the genocide, but now is the front for a 49 nations crusade to open the strait of Hormuz. I'm sure it will be successful. Just look how great it's going for US right now. #France #Hypocrisy #Macron #HormuzStrait #StraitOfHurmoz
