United States President Donald Trump on Monday said that the US was reinstating the naval blockade of Iran and would be “reimbursed” 20% on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz for keeping the crucial waterway open.
The strait is “open and will remain open, with or without Iran”, Trump said on social media.
The reinstated blockade will only stop Iranian “ships or customers from entering or leaving” and “all other countries will have fair and open use of the strait”, he said.
The US will be known as “The Guardian of the Hormuz Strait”, Trump said. He added that “as a matter of fairness, [the US] will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary” to provide security in the region.
“ They said we'd love to do it a different way. We'd love to invest in the United States with billions and billions of dollars,
