US EditionTrump says Iran is not living up to ceasefire agreement in Strait of Hormuz
Trump said Iran must allow toll-free shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, as the waterway handles about a fifth of global oil and gas shipments.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, claiming Tehran failed to allow free oil shipments through the Hormuz Strait. Trump warned that any tolls or transit limitations "better stop now."
- Iran indicated plans to reopen the Hormuz Strait under military coordination, with Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei stating Tehran will "bring the management of the Strait of Hormuz to a new stage." This contradicts the ceasefire requirement for free passage.
- Bloomberg and The Financial Times reported Iran may charge up to $2 million per vessel to transit the Hormuz Strait, with payments potentially in cryptocurrency or Chinese yuan. This prospect shocked world leaders globally.
- Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the European Union's Kaja Kallas denounced the proposed fees, with Kallas urging "free and safe passage" through the Hormuz Strait. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi also pressed Iran to ensure vessel safety.
- High-Stakes peace talks are set in Islamabad on April 10, with U.S. Vice President Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner arriving to meet Iranian officials. The Hormuz Strait dispute remains a critical agenda item complicating negotiations.
