  • Well it looks like the Bitcoin thing was more nonsense, the IRGC is much more consistent than civilian politicians! My mistake lol

    Fars News Agency: Iran central bank confirms Strait of Hormuz fees received in cash – PressTV [2026-04-24]

    The clarification comes after some media outlets had claimed that Iran was collecting the tolls in digital currencies such as Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

    The income was received in “cash currency” and credited to the central bank’s accounts, reflecting Iran’s effective and transparent management of the strategic waterway, according to the report on Thursday.

    The clarification comes after some media outlets had claimed that Iran was collecting the tolls in digital currencies such as Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

    The announcement also came as Iran’s Deputy Parliament Speaker Hamidreza Hajibabaee announced that the first revenue from Strait of Hormuz tolls has been deposited into the central bank’s account.

    Speaking at a public gathering in Kuhdasht, Hajibabaee declared that the strait rightfully belongs to the Iranian nation and that no outside power has any right to negotiate over it.

    “All ships passing through this route must pay tolls in Iranian rials to the Iranian nation as a rightful fee for using Iran’s territorial waters,” he said.

    He issued a stern warning that if the United States persists with its aggressive policies, no ship will be permitted to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

    “Two violating vessels have been successfully seized so far, and this number will increase as necessary to protect Iran’s sovereignty,” Hajibabaee added.

    The deputy speaker described Iran’s control over the strait as one of the great achievements of the nation’s resistance against foreign domination, stating that US warships have been forced to retreat 200 kilometers out of fear of Iran’s military power.

    He noted that 20 percent of the world’s oil and 35 percent of its gas pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran’s rightful dominance over the waterway demonstrates the country’s vital role in the international economy.

    He proudly asserted that Iran has achieved the status of a global superpower, adding that no retreat from this honorable path is acceptable.

    Any official who speaks from a position of fear or weakness and capitulates to US-Israeli aggression will be despised by the proud Iranian nation, he warned.

    In a firm warning directed at certain regional states that support terrorist operations, Hajibabaee said: “Countries that provide hotel and airport facilities to terrorists to assassinate our revered figures should know that we will simultaneously target their airports, hotels, and their rulers in response to their hostile actions.”

    Hajibabaee firmly rejected any negotiations with the United States from a position of weakness, stating that talks can only take place after Washington admits its defeat in its ongoing war of aggression against Iran.

    He said the US-Israeli war of terrorism had been threatening the region, but that Iran, under the wise leadership of martyred Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has stood united and proud against American excesses and Zionist ambitions.

    According to Hajibabaee, the United States has unilaterally sought an extension of a ceasefire after Iran’s unified and dignified rejection of US demands.

    “The United States, which until recently spoke the language of military threats and aggression, is now retreating in humiliation before the greatness of the Iranian nation,” he said.

    He said Washington is adopting contradictory and desperate positions, ranging from threatening to partition Iran to falsely claiming a role in decision-making, but that the US-Israeli axis of aggression has ultimately been forced to back down in disgrace.

    Hajibabaee described Iran’s peaceful uranium enrichment and its defensive missile capabilities as the undeniable and inalienable rights of the Iranian nation, saying these sovereign capabilities will be strengthened day by day.

    I mean, it defeats the point of crypto for you, which is a replacement for the US dollar in speculation. It has enormous utility to these states, which are using it to negotiate currency transfers without the US Swift system. It’s literally just for use by governments, and reversing the transactions would be a diplomatic incident. Maybe you’re on to something about why hostile parties could not use it, though. I don’t know much about crypto technically like I said before.

    I don’t know if the State Dept being able to claw back coins counts as “reversible” to you but it effectively allowed them to steal much of the proceeds from the drug selling.

    Occupy and Wikileaks had a role in diverting US activists towards ineffective means of struggle, & were spun off into movements that were used to + directly contributed to threaten states the US considers enemies. I think the Iranian govt is foolish if they really intend to treat bitcoin is money, but it looks like it will just be a payment method negotiated at gunpoint, so there is no chance of the money being clawed back by the US fgovt + prvt banks. China is setting up a cryptographic ledger thingy (I’m not a crypto guy I watch #thebarrels) for states to securely organize bilateral currency agreements, but I’m guessing that wouldn’t be an option for this kind of thing? At least not at this stage?



















  • Reddit snark because you ran out of things to say other than “no u” meanwhile I have the generosity to explain the basics of industrial development to someone who clearly despises me over nothing. How’s it feel to get old lmao? You are genuinely twelve years old education-wise bruh how do you not know older industrial equipment has worse emissions?? Are you a fucking rabbit? How did you get on the COMPUTER???

    Have you done anything other than make these stupid comments for years? You have nothing to show for you efforts.




  • Lmao see I roped you back in so easily after you acted like you were all done, “thanks for playing” now you’re trying to quote by quote deboonk someone MAKING FUN OF YOU HAHAHAHA you’re the one who needs to grow up bruh telling other people what to say when you can’t even understand a word. Lil buddy you gave up as soon as you decided to debate a misconception you had about what someone wasn’t saying. You didn’t address any of what I said, only what you thought about me, which I don’t care about. I prefer coherent conversations with normal people! You read the articles about The Guardian saying it’s afraid of the higher emissions of African industry, relative to the imperial core, no? Are you seriously not able to see how the argument is made to deny high industry to Africa in order to hoard it for the West? You are pro-EXISTING PETROCHEMICAL MONOPOLY. Hence your seething at me. Nobody will ever give a shit about how you want them to talk. You don’t matter, you just say inaccurate shit & make a good punching bag whenever you pop up like a gopher. It provokes a better understanding of how to explain things to idiots that aren’t as intractable & salty as you are.

    Yes, I am serious, I drink your fucking milkshake! SEA petrochem is ours now! You guys threw the game!


  • That’s right mfer, I will continue to assume Yandex search access & a grade school education on the part of my audience. Consider yourself forever counted out! You went from saying it’s not a gotcha to admitting yes, it is a gotcha, & you oppose the utilization of the petroleum industry by developing country, then ignored everything I said which was inconvenient to you. Wait until you see what I do in Africa! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Fake ass pseud mad on the internet again, you’re always so mad & you go excuse yourself to pout! This is why nobody spoon feeds people! You lack BASIC THINKING SKILLS your MOMMA didn’t teach you bruh. I’m so powerful I can afford to let you feed off the tip of my dick. I can spare the calories big boy

    Since you generally fail subtext: I WORK IN THE PETROCHEM INDUSTRY THIS IS NOT A GAME & YOU’RE THE ONLY ONES WHO WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO LOSE. I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE
