President Trump has warned Iran against imposing tolls on ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. The warning comes as traffic through the vital waterway remains restricted, despite a recent ceasefire agreement intended to reopen it.
Reports indicate Iran intends to continue charging commercial vessels for passage, a practice that could violate international law but potentially generate significant revenue.
Tehran’s Revolutionary Guard is currently limiting ship traffic and enforcing these charges. President Trump has directly demanded the opening of the strait for free passage.
The possibility of Iran implementing these tolls has been widely reported, raising concerns about further disruption to international shipping.
