Iran Wants Bitcoin Payments From Oil Ships Seeking Hormuz Passage

[fuguebtc]

And today, another question arises: if Iran is still finding floating storage facilities to stockpile oil, what will happen when they run out? Dump the oil into the strait? Shut down the wells? 

You do not need to worry about that because they already have a solution. To date, at least 34 Iranian oil tankers have bypassed the US blockade, including 15 that entered from the Arabian Sea heading toward Iranian port.

Furthermore, there is confirmed information that Iran also began implementing its plan to collect fees in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.


If all of this is true, then perhaps the US is trying to hide something, and perhap they are failing to stop Iran's main sources of revenue.

It's a very complicated matter. Iran is not wholly good, and the United States is not wholly evil. You could also remember the fact that Iran/IRGC also killed thousands of their own citizens who were joining the protests in early 2026.

Plus I agree to the fact that the United States SHOULD NOT leave Iran alone in enriching Uranium for development of nuclear weapons. We don't need another North Korea.

Nobody says the United States is evil, but we say the United States government is evil. Now that was a made up propaganda alongside the numbers all made up. And who cooked that all up?! The CIA & Mossad agents. Donald Trump also agreed to have sent them rioters guns to create that insurgency from within. Or have we forgotten Donald Trump admittedly stated this?? Everybody has a right to defend themselves and if Israel can own nuclear war heads, the same should apply with iran. Mind you, we all know who is attacking others unprovoked in the middle east for their own interest.

Iran has said that they're no longer interested for any negotiations with the US after what they've done. So, we expect that this war will continue to happen. Both has their own lies IMO and when they want to talk about peace, they have to be sincere with that and that can't be seen now on both ends. I think before Iran has that but US just triggered them that there shall be no talks anymore.

From the perspective of what is currently happening in the Strait of Hormuz regarding the tensions that have arisen—something initiated by the United States—I believe this is accurate based on the news I’ve been following.
When I mention the United States, I mean everyone there, including the good people, but I’m specifically referring to Trump and his administration. Trump has already lost the war with Iran and is not supported by his allies because they see that a conflict with Iran is not based on the major interests desired by the world. What is happening with the failed negotiations and the ongoing escalation in the Strait of Hormuz is Trump’s way of showing that he is militarily strong, when in fact he is not.

Of course, the US war wasn't the people's wish from the start, but rather Trump's sole wish. This war was waged without Congress and Trump will certainly be held accountable for any war he started at the Congress, which will be held in May, if I'm not mistaken. From the start, this war was not beneficial to the US it was purely because Trump only wanted to help Israel and for business reasons.

That's why this US war didn't receive full support from the US people and even the US people protested against all of Trump decisions. Perhaps Trump thought crippling Iran would be easy, but the reality is that it's not as easy as he thought. Many of Trump statements now appear inconsistent and merely empty talk. He's proven to have extended the ceasefire and even blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, simply to show they're a strong nation when in reality it's a sign of weakness.

If you can prove that this was a deliberate strike on a school, that would be a valid argument. But remember-in any war, no matter how just, innocent civilians caught in the line of fire very often become victims.
This does not justify targeted strikes on peaceful cities, civilian facilities, civilian infrastructure, or power grids that provide civilians with light, heat, and water-this is pure terrorism, no question about it!

By the way-why do you forget to speak with the same outrage about explosions in shopping malls and markets, or the killing of civilians in other countries, such as Israel or the EU? Or are these different people, different rules?
And why do you talk about Iran firing on ships but not about Iran firing on neighboring countries that aren’t involved in this war at all? Do you have a selective truth?
And one more question-show me your post on the forum where you accuse the Iranian regime of the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, the destruction of hospitals, schools, kindergartens, stores, and simply murdering ordinary people on the streets with Iranian Shahed drones and missiles, which, since 2022, the Iranian regime has been generously supplying to the terrorist state of Russia, which is waging a terrorist war after invading Ukraine in 2014? Your answer will show how honest you really are in assessing the situation....

That is the excuse? Seriously? Just that "oh sorry, we didn't mean to"? Really? How about you do not send missiles and bomb a nation and that way there won't be any mistakes? Just because you didn't mean to kill those innocent children, doesn't make it better, and "in any war..." well do not have a war then? How about that? Is that something possible in your mind or are you too American to realize that you literally do not have to have a war. Iran would not send nukes to USA, they would be crazy to even consider that, but that was the answer given to you and you gobbled it up like all Americans.

And your defense is that "but there are bombings in other countries" and assume that we all rejoice that? Are you seriously going mental in front of our eyes? What makes you think that people who are against bombing of civilians in Iran, would be happy with bombings of other countries?

That is literally what we are AGAINST  and that is exactly what you guys DO, we are the ones against it whether it's Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, Iran, USA, wherever, we are NOT bombing civilians and making sure they do not die, you guys are the ones who are actively doing it. I can't continue this conversation, we can see Americans blowing up babies and you will figure out a way to defend it at this point, there is no further discussion that would be logical to continue. How could anyone just not condemn and apologize for killing children and some how figure a mental gymnastics to defend such a thing, I am beyond disbelief.

Great information, but there are some nuances
Both sources say “according to the Iranian regime.” Judging by what the Iranian regime has been saying over the past month, and Trump, too, both sides are trying to “stir up trouble” to outdo their opponent. So, I’ll say it again: the information is interesting, but it’s hard to call it true.  I can provide you with even more sources that describe the opposite process:

The New York Times (April 25, 2026): “Iran and U.S. Blockades in the Strait of Hormuz: What You Need to Know”. The publication reports that since the start of the blockade, the U.S. Navy has deployed 34 ships attempting to violate trade restrictions with Iran. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/world/middleeast/iran-us-strait-of-hormuz-blockade.html
CNN (April 25, 2026): “Iran Suffers from Standoff with U.S., but May Bet on...”. Analysis of the progress of the naval blockade and the interception of Iranian tankers, including two vessels in the Indo-Pacific region. https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/25/middleeast/blockade-us-iran-economy-analysis-intl
Associated Press (April 20, 2026): “U.S. Navy Seizes Iranian-Flagged Vessel Near the Strait of Hormuz”. Report on the first direct seizure of the Iranian container ship Touska since the official blockade began. https://apnews.com/article/us-iran-war-israel-hormuz-19-april-2026-0a637f98d588930f195f61cffe07d4f3

Bloomberg (April 23, 2026): “Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are rising around the Strait of Hormuz amid the collapse of peace talks.” Report on the interception of two supertankers attempting to circumvent restrictions.
...
Interceptions and seizures: On April 23, the U.S. seized the tanker Majestic X in the Indian Ocean, accusing it of transporting Iranian oil. Earlier, on April 19–20, the destroyer USS Spruance seized the vessel Touska.
...

And many, many other similar events. Are we going to ignore them?

Let’s talk like adults, without manipulation or attempts to “exploit the victims for personal gain.” I’ll say this openly to you once again-I am categorically opposed to strikes on civilians, civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, hospitals, schools, thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, and water supply systems. But you ignore this, just as you ignore my questions, trying to draw attention exclusively to your own questions. Once again-answer MY QUESTION! Where are your demands on the IRANIAN REGIME to stop supplying Shahed drones and missiles for the mass, systematic killing of Ukrainian civilians over the past FOUR YEARS? You’re the one who claims that attacks on civilians are a crime, or do you have SELECTIVE justice?
 
And here’s another question you’re so eager to avoid: where is your reaction to the ballistic missile and Shahed strikes on peaceful cities and regions of Israel, and most importantly-on the peaceful neighborhoods and infrastructure of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other countries that have shown no aggression toward Iran?

I am certain-there will be no honest answer to these questions....     

P.S. Today, Russian terrorists, once again, struck peaceful cities in Ukraine. It was Iranian Shaheds that killed and wounded dozens of people today in Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. Where is your reaction? “That’s different”?

[STT]

Anyone who believes in war as a solution is horribly misguided, it does not require the commitment of evil intent.   All people are flawed and capable of mistakes, the worst mistakes are repeated not once but continually.
  The latest administration think being aggressive is ok, almost every country near to Iran asked for this action not to take place knowing the utter mess that is certain there after possibly for a decade or more.   They are the ones paying the price, China will build a pipeline to Russia or whatever deal they command as such a large buyer
   The smaller nations who need LNG or similar won't do anything but lose business and energy from this pointless war.   If anything the forces engaging Iran are naive unfortunately to believe a simple victory was anywhere in grasp.

Plus I agree to the fact that the United States SHOULD NOT leave Iran alone in enriching Uranium for development of nuclear weapons. We don't need another North Korea.

Nobody says the United States is evil, but we say the United States government is evil. Now that was a made up propaganda alongside the numbers all made up. And who cooked that all up?! The CIA & Mossad agents. Donald Trump also agreed to have sent them rioters guns to create that insurgency from within. Or have we forgotten Donald Trump admittedly stated this??

Mind you, we all know who is attacking others unprovoked in the middle east for their own interest.

I am not certain about the information that Iran/IRGC has killed thousand of its own citizens. Because, aside from news from the West, there is virtually no reliable information or evidence about this from other credible sources.
However, I believe those protests would not have happened without incitement and instigation from the US. It was a dirty political tactic by the US to use the Iranian people themselves to overthrow the government.

In my opinion, the world does not need the US. Because, to date, they are the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons to attack another country, not North Korea. They are also the country that has initiated and participated in the most wars in the world since WW II. The world would certainly be a better place without them.

Why would he hide the fact that they're trying to help free Iranian citizens from an oppressive regime who kill them for protesting.

That's absolutely EVIL.

It looks like Iran’s prospects aren’t looking too good… According to media reports, Iran has proposed "quickly reopening the Strait of Hormuz, PROVIDED THE U.S. LIFTS its blockade (which applies only to Iranian oil)," and "stopping the war." And then we can discuss everything else
At first, I couldn’t understand where the Iranian regime’s "boldness" was coming from. And it turns out that… Iran actually has no storage capacity… for oil! Currently, the oil being produced is piling up; storage tankers are already full and anchored, but oil keeps coming in, and the available storage capacity will last for about 2–4 weeks. After that, they’ll have to either shut down the wells or simply dump the oil onto the ground. Of course, neither bitcoins nor yuan will pay for that. Iran’s farce-"you will pay for passage through the strait in Bitcoin"-is a repeat of the same idiotic situation as with Russia-"you will buy oil and gas from us only for rubles"-and "the EU will freeze this winter without our gas!"

Are you seriously asking and questioning this?
Can't you see for yourself the fact that Iran has never attacked another country first? In fact Iran is often attacked first using the classic excuse of having nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles with absurd reasons. Yet, Iran develops missiles to protect itself and safeguard its sovereignty from threats from other countries. Perhaps if Iran didn't have missiles and didn't have a strong defense, it would have been destroyed long ago. The classic excuses the US and Israel always use are merely excuses to target Iran. This is the same thing that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In fact this war occurred due to a surprise attack launched by the US and Israel during negotiations between Iran and the US regarding Iran nuclear program. So it is very natural that Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel, US bases located in the Gulf countries and resulted in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz thus disrupting global trade. Even a fool could answer why Iran attacked a US military base in a country like this. Yes, because it was from that military base that the US attacked Iran. You question Iran attacking peaceful cities and areas in Israel, then Israel attacks peaceful cities in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran. What's your answer?

Do you know the consequences of this war? Before the war all countries were free to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but since the war the Strait of Hormuz has been closed and now they charge a fee. So what is the purpose of this war which was initially fine, now has become a crisis because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz?

[Wind_FURY]

That's ABSOLUTELY NOT going to happen if Iran doesn't give up its enriched Uranium stockpile, AND agree to a regime change. The United States has already dug itself into a hole - and the only way out is to simply dig deeper.

At first, I couldn’t understand where the Iranian regime’s "boldness" was coming from. And it turns out that… Iran actually has no storage capacity… for oil! Currently, the oil being produced is piling up; storage tankers are already full and anchored, but oil keeps coming in, and the available storage capacity will last for about 2–4 weeks. After that, they’ll have to either shut down the wells or simply dump the oil onto the ground. Of course, neither bitcoins nor yuan will pay for that. Iran’s farce-"you will pay for passage through the strait in Bitcoin"-is a repeat of the same idiotic situation as with Russia-"you will buy oil and gas from us only for rubles"-and "the EU will freeze this winter without our gas!" 

CHEAP OIL SOON?

I have read about this news but as usual, the information comes from anonymous sources and Pakistani mediator. Nothing confirmed directly from Iran.

As of April 29, Iran maintained its position and has not made any concessions until the US lifted the blockade, while the US would not lift the blockade unless Iran opened the strait. It could be said that the situation is completely at a standstill, regardless of whether the proposal is true or not.

So do not jump to conclusions just because of a few rumor going around.

Although, with the current situation, who is actually losing? Whose citizens are suffering? Which country has been destroyed? Which leaders are dead?

It's obviously Iran, and don't believe they're position will last for a large amount of time. They will probably agree to the United States' demands in two or three months.

A simple list: which of the countries listed above attacked Iran, and on what date?
Maybe I really did miss something, or didn’t read the information-I don’t rule that out either!
I’m really looking forward to your honest answer-you want the truth, right?

[Iranus]

It's obviously Iran, and don't believe they're position will last for a large amount of time. They will probably agree to the United States' demands in two or three months.

This is an asymmetrical war. The US spends $1 trillion annually on its military and possesses one of the world's leading armies. Meanwhile, Iran spend only about $15 billion on its military annually, and its army ranks only 15th in the world. Therefore, do not ask or compare who is suffering more severe losses.

The issue to be discussed is whether the US has achieved its stated goals. They want regime change, they want to eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons program...so far, they have spent over 60 billion in two months, oil prices have skyrocketed causing domestic inflation, but they still have not achieved any of their goal.

Let's wait and see what happens, do not make prediction based solely on personal biases.

I agree, because in today’s situation, where both sides are openly manipulating information, the best course of action would be to simply observe actual events rather than the words of both parties, which... amount to nothing more than strings of letters
To be honest, I don’t recall anything like this on the world stage, where manipulation and lies form the main stream of information in a conflict....

It is honestly the opposite. We know who is waging an unnecessary war on humanity. You all like to make it about Muslims and Christians. It is yet, another bullshit propaganda.
"Foreign Devils" well, the Epstein class and files says it all. I have little to say about this.

"Help free Iranian citizens" and he bombed 168 children?! This is indeed laughable. And who will help the US citizens from Trumps Authoritarian government?!

I think the war is not about religion, it is a fight for power. Controlling the Middle East means controlling half of the world's resources. I think the amount of natural resources in the Middle East, especially oil and gold. The Europeans want to maintain their power throughout the world, which is why they want the Middle Eastern countries to be under their control, but Iran is a country that is not ready to give up its country to anyone outside. In that case, they try their best to maintain their sovereignty and the current war is also a war to protect sovereignty.

[goldkingcoiner]

I think this topic is getting a bit off-topic and mostly about politics rather than what the original topic was about- Bitcoin payments from oil ships seeking safe passage to and from the Hormuz.

So, how are things going? Are they still taking Bitcoin payments or was that just a backup plan or something?

I can imagine many countries are fuming about their precious fiat not being taken as payment instead. Surely they would try everything to stop Bitcoin from overshadowing fiat (even though this will inevitably happen).
