Trump floats 20% Hormuz toll as US reasserts naval role

President Trump floated reinstating a US naval blockade of Iran and charging a 20% toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming to be the guardian of the strait. Experts say there is no legal mechanism to enforce such tolls and it could create legal and insurance uncertainty while strengthening Tehran’s narrative that Hormuz control confers toll rights. The plan drew opposition from international bodies like the IMO, and a Brazilian president dubbed it piracy, highlighting broad international concern amid renewed US-Iran tensions.
