U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States could charge tolls for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz if an Iran-related deal is not completed within 60 days. Trump makes the warning in posts on Truth Social, stating there would be “no tolls” during a 60-day ceasefire period tied to a memorandum of understanding with Iran, and that tolls could apply after the period expires unless they are imposed “by and for” the United States. Several outlets report that the memorandum framework also includes expectations about the Strait reopening for an interim 60-day window following a closure during the conflict that began on 28 February. Other reporting highlights that Iran does not control the strait’s passage, and that U.S. forces monitor traffic to ensure vessels continue transiting. Some coverage also reflects conflicting accounts regarding who can collect fees for passage. Separately, U.S. officials argue that Iran would not be collecting tolls during the relevant period, while Trump’s statement leaves open that the United States could impose charges if negotiations fail.
