Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Drops Hormuz Shipping Fee as U.S. Renews Iran Port Blockade
Caption: Trump Drops Hormuz Shipping Fee as U.S. Renews Iran Port Blockade. President Donald Trump abandoned plans for a 20% shipping fee on Strait of Hormuz cargo traffic worldwide. Instead, Trump said Gulf nations would pursue massive trade and investment agreements benefiting both regional economies significantly. The announcement came as U.S. forces resumed naval operations targeting Iranian capabilities threatening commercial shipping through Hormuz waters. Centcom confirmed additional strikes against Iranian military targets, while Tehran reported explosions across several cities including Bushehr overnight. Iran responded by accusing Washington of undermining a previous truce and insisted it retained control over the strategic strait. Trump also announced Iran would remain excluded from Strait shipping while commercial traffic continued under U.S. military protection. Shipping through Hormuz has slowed sharply, pushing oil prices higher amid growing concerns over regional security and energy supplies. Meanwhile, Israel warned Iran that any future attacks would trigger a far stronger military response from its armed forces.
