Iran has hit back at US President Donald Trump's plan to charge 20 per cent on all cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with its foreign minister arguing that Iran, not the US, has always been the true guardian of the waterway. Writing on X, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said, "POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER." He then took aim at the size of Trump's proposed fee, adding, "20 per cent is of course too much. We will be fair."
US President Trump has updated Congress on the recommencement of military action against Iran, marking the beginning of a new sixty-day operational phase for US forces. This escalation follows reported attacks on commercial shipping, attributed to Iran's supposed violation of a ceasefire. In response, the US has carried out several strikes, while Democrats assess potential legal actions to enforce compliance from the administration.
