"Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!"
"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!"
"The bottleneck of oil and gas tankers created by Iran's blocking of the strait has led to a worldwide energy crunch and rising prices."
"Our position is 'open' means open for safe navigation."
Trump condemned Iran's actions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, labeling them as dishonorable and detrimental to oil shipping. He expressed concerns over reports of Iran charging fees to tankers, emphasizing that such actions violate agreements. The ongoing blockade has contributed to a global energy crisis, with rising prices and international condemnation from various countries. A key demand in cease-fire negotiations is the free flow of shipping through the strait, which Iran has blocked, proposing tolls for passage, a first for this international waterway.
