Marc Thiessen: There’s No Way the Iranians Can Keep the Strait Close, ‘If We Decide to Open It’

RUSH EXCERPT:
THIESSEN: "A hundred percent. I think first of all the president tweeted out today that he’s going to open the Strait of Hormuz, so that’s a good thing. Admiral cooper has a plan that he could execute tomorrow if he’s given the order to do it that would open up the Strait of Hormuz. There’s no way the Iranians can keep the strait close if we decide to open it. I think quite frankly what President Trump ought to do is he ought to have and announce that he’s going to have a hormuz trans its tariff and that instead of Iran charging two million a vessel going through the Strait of Hormuz, the United States is going to charge a $2 million escort fee for every vessel going through the Strait of Hormuz, which is about nine billion a month, a hundred billion a year in revenue coming in, and we will wave that fee for any country that participates in the coalition to open up the Strait of Hormuz. That will open it up, and reward the good guys who are helping us and punish those who decide to stay on the sidelines."
