Tensions between the United States and Iran showed fresh signs of escalation despite a fragile ceasefire, with US President Donald Trump issuing a stern warning to Tehran over reports of tolls being imposed on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform on Thursday, Trump cautioned Iran against interfering with maritime movement through the strategically vital waterway, which had only recently reopened under a temporary truce.
"There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait -- They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!" Trump said.
