US military restores blockade in response to Iran’s attacks on ships on the Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. military has reimposed a blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran's attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, as an interim ceasefire unravels. President Trump initially proposed a 20% fee for ships passing through the strait but later abandoned the plan due to pressure from Gulf allies. The U.S. has deployed significant military assets to enforce the blockade, while Iran claims the move violates its sovereignty over the waterway.
