After agreement, Trump says ships have already started circulating in the Strait of Hormuz

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Monday (15) that ships have already started circulating through the Strait of Hormuz this morning, following the announcement of the peace agreement between the USA and Iran on Sunday (14).
Trump stated that the movement takes place along the southern route of the canal, the furthest section of Iranian territory, close to Oman and Saudi Arabia.
"Ships are starting to move, many loaded with oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz. They are following the Southern 'Highway', which is completely safe and preserved. There are other navigation routes too!!!", wrote the US president

➡ The agreement was announced on Sunday (14) by all parties, after more than three months of war. The text will be signed on Friday (19), in a ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland, according to Pakistan, which mediated in the negotiations.
In an interview with "The New York Times" shortly after the announcement, Trump said that the agreement provides for the permanent exemption from any toll in Hormuz, as Iran had suggested during the conflict. This Monday, however, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that there will be "sea service fees".
"We have always stated that we do not intend to charge transit fees, but fees will be charged for navigation services, environmental protection, ship insurance and other necessary services," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday.
Iran, whose territory borders most of the Strait of Hormuz, controls, in practice, transit through the canal, through which ships carrying around 20% of the oil and gas consumed in the world travel.
The North American government had not yet commented on the rate announced by Iran until the last update of this report.

Trump says he saved Israel 'from nuclear attack'
In the interview with The New York Times, Trump also stated that the presidents of China, Xi Jinping, and Russia, Vladimir Putin, helped in resolving the peace agreement with Iran.
He thanked the leaders of both countries, but criticized the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump stated that, "despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's objections to the agreement, I saved Israel from nuclear destruction" - the American has shown signs of irritation with Netanayhu over Israel's attacks on Lebanon and said that the two even got into a heated argument on the phone last week.
The North American president also said that, if Iran did not sign an agreement, it would become a kind of "guardian of the Middle East", capturing 20% of the revenue generated in the region.
