Trump states Iran will not toll the Strait of Hormuz, US may consider it

Donald Trump has announced there will be no tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, unless imposed by the United States. His statement raises concerns about the stability of a recent ceasefire agreement with Iran, which had temporarily halted hostilities and restricted Iran from charging vessels. Iran’s military reported closing the strait, claiming a breach of the memorandum, while U.S. Central Command denied this, stating traffic continues to flow. Ongoing tensions in the region complicate future negotiations, with discussions set to take place in Switzerland.
