$RIG Iran has figured out that they have Trump and rest of the world by the 'balls', preventing traffic thru the Strait Hormuz. No amount of bombing is going to change that.
SOH is better than a nuclear weapon, and they are going to hold out until they get what they want. Trump threats are not going to change things.
They have no need to talk to Trump. Talks instead are underway with Oman on who gets what of
$2M per ship for safe passage thru SOH.

Iran is implementing a transit fee system of up to
$2 million per vessel for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, managed via Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Up to
$2 million per voyage, varying by vessel size, cargo type, and diplomatic relations. Settled using alternative mechanisms like cryptocurrency or Chinese yuan to bypass Western sanctions.
Vessels are directed near Iranian territorial chokepoints and islands like Larak and Qeshm for visual verification and IRGC coordination
