The first guy was rescued via helicopter and the second guy required 48 refuelling tankers, 68 fighter jets, 13 rescue aircraft and 4 bombers. Even though they knew exactly where he was with the beacon. Sounds like something bigger was happening than it being just a pilot rescue.

Trump says US could charge a toll for Strait of Hormuz passage​

President Donald Trump has suggested the United States may be looking to charge a toll in the Strait of Hormuz after the war, a move that would likely require direct US military control over the strategic waterway.

Asked on Monday whether he would accept a deal that would allow Iran to take fees from ships to traverse the strait, the US president said: “What about us charging tolls? I’d rather do that than let them have them. Why shouldn’t we? We’re the winner. We won.”

Trump reiterated that Iran has been militarily defeated, a claim that he has been making since the early days of the war, despite Iran’s sustained drone and missile attacks across the region and its continuing blockade of Hormuz.

“The only thing they have is the psychology of, ‘Oh, we’re going to drop a couple of mines in the water.’ All right, no, I mean, we have a concept where we’ll charge tolls,” Trump told reporters.

Hormuz, which connects the Gulf to the Indian Ocean, lies mostly within Omani and Iranian territorial waters. About 20 percent of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) passed through the strait before the war.

Trump’s latest comments came as he issued what he called a “final” ultimatum to Tehran to reopen the strait and agree to Washington’s terms or face attacks against Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants.

The US president told reporters on Monday that any deal with Iran must include reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

“We have to have a deal that’s acceptable to me, and part of that deal is going to be, we want free traffic of oil,” he said.

Reports have suggested that Iran is already charging a toll for some of the few ships it is allowing to pass through the strait.

Funny thing is that many westoids think this is being "maximalist" or up to negotiation.

No, this is the best they could get, and offers will get worse the more time passes.

And the only "concession" I see Iran making is keeping the current level of enrichment.

The US proposal, based on reality on the ground, was maximalist and delusional.

Imagine asking your enemy to give up the bat they just beat you with (missile program).

1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran
5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies
6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz
7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship
8. Iran would split these fees with Oman
9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz
10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations

Trump says he will destroy the whole of Iran by tomorrow. I wouldn't underestimate this statement. Trump may really do it, but to what extent and with what costs. We'll see!

Trump says ‘entire country’ of Iran could be taken out if no deal is reached by tomorrow​

The US president doubled down on his threat to destroy every Iranian bridge and power plant in wide-ranging news conference.
