🇮🇷🤝🇶🇦- According to Israel Hayom, diplomatic officials have confirmed that Washington secretly authorized Qatar to transfer funds to Tehran in exchange for freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and immunity from Iranian attacks.

➡️ The arrangement was deliberately intended to ease global energy prices, with the US Navy effectively turning a blind eye to the deal in contradiction of its declared policy.

➡️ The secret approval, granted approximately one month ago, served as the groundwork for the memorandum of understanding now being forged with Iran.

➡️ Qatar, fearing renewed Iranian attacks on its facilities following a strike on one of its gas installations during the war, sought to secure quiet through the financial arrangement. Some payments were disguised as tanker passage fees, with a credit line of up to $1 billion also opened for goods purchases through Qatar.
