Iran Foreign Minister Mocks Trump Over Tolls For Hormuz Strait Passage
Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday mocked Donald Trump over his vow to impose hefty charges on all cargo shipped through the strait of Hormuz, saying Iran would charge a lower rate.
"POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER. 20% is of course too much. We will be fair," Tehran's top diplomat wrote, in a social media post.

Good account from the photographer - see also www.theguardian.com - who's line about being an Army photographer is classic.
As for the bison, really hard to overstate: they are EXTREMELY dangerous, easily riled, fast, and can turn on a dime. The bearded guy seemed to be doing about what he could. The buffalo appeared to have staked out that table, perhaps as a feeding area? Anyway, when in places like Yellowstone it helps for perspective's sake to bear in mind you've crossed over the wall between your world and theirs. Think of it kind of like Jurassic Park. Or Florida.
