Iran Demands Much Money for Ships

194

Iran controls an important path on the sea. This path is called the Strait of Hormuz. Many ships with oil and gas travel there. Now Iran demands much money from these ships.

One ship must pay 2 million dollars for one trip. This is like a toll on the car road. Iran says: We need the money for the war. It also wants to show it controls the path.

The USA and Israel fight against Iran since February. They attack targets in Iran with rockets. Iran attacks back with drones. Many people already died in this war.

US President Donald Trump wants to end the war. He sent a plan with 15 points to Iran. It says: Iran must not build atomic bombs. And the path on the sea must be free for everyone.

So far there is no agreement. Iran rejected the plan. The White House also shows videos. These videos show flags and feet of soldiers. This should show: The USA is ready for more fighting.

A known rocker from Germany died in Tehran. His name was Erkan Akyol. The police searched for him because of murder. His body has now arrived at an airport in Germany.
