US media: Oil industry resists Trump's Iran peace plan

Golden Ten Data reported on April 9 that U.S. President Trump’s Iran peace plan is facing resistance from a key group: the oil industry. According to an industry consultant, oil company executives are contacting the White House, Secretary of State Rubio, and Vice President Vance to protest allowing Iran to collect passage fees through the Strait of Hormuz as a condition for peace talks. When asked whether executives had contacted the White House to protest the Strait of Hormuz toll measure, the consultant replied: “Of course! We never had to do this before—and I thought we had already won the war. Whenever you get the chance to reach out to government agencies, you ask, ‘What on earth are you thinking?’”
