Trump Warns Iran to Immediately Stop Charging Tolls on Hormuz Strait Ships

Donald Trump, President of the United States, responded on Thursday (April 9) to reports about Iran collecting tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, posting a message on his Truth Social account. Trump wrote that reports have been published showing Iran is charging fees from tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and stated: "Better not do this, and if it is happening, stop immediately." The remarks come as the Islamic Republic has been demanding fees from passing ships to cover the costs of rebuilding war damage. Source: Vahid Online
