President Donald Trump on Wednesday said in the wake of his ceasefire agreement with Iran, there could be a “Golden Age of the Middle East.”
“A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else!” Trump exclaimed on Truth Social.
“The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process.
“We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just ‘hangin’ around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”
The president added: “The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear ‘Dust.’
“It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!). Nothing has been touched from the date of attack. We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been agreed to.”

Trump also issued an economic warning to any nation providing weapons to the Islamic Republic.
“A Country supplying Military Weapons to Iran will be immediately tariffed, on any and all goods sold to the United States of America, 50%, effective immediately. There will be no exclusions or exemptions!” Trump explained.
Jonathan Karl of ABC News spoke with Trump Wednesday, and noted: “This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls.”

He said the president responded: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it – also securing it from lots of other people. … It’s a beautiful thing.”
