Trump warns Iran to halt Hormuz tanker fees amid fragile ceasefire

Trump posted on Truth Social demanding Iran stop charging fees for oil-tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, risking a fragile two-week ceasefire that required the complete, immediate, and safe reopening of the strait. The strait channels about 20% of global oil; Iran reportedly plans to levy fees paid in cryptocurrency, while the U.S. pursues a temporary halt to hostilities contingent on Hormuz’s opening. Trump also framed oil flow as continuing with or without Iran and criticized media coverage.
