Trump says US will blockade Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and will charge ships for safe passage

U.S. President Donald Trump announced the reinstatement of a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, restricting Iranian ships and imposing a 20% toll on eligible cargo for safe passage. The move follows intensified conflict with Iran after failed peace talks, with Iran asserting control over the strait and rejecting U.S. claims of freedom of navigation.
