We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran\u2019s ships or customers from entering or leaving,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cAll other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as \u2018THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,\u2019 but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World,\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s new policy has brought renewed attention to Rubio\u2019s comments on potential tolls in the strait, in which he slammed the idea of any country charging tolls to use the passageway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the law. It\u2019s an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway,\u201d Rubio said just three weeks ago on June 23. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s existing international law. That\u2019s the way it is in international waterways all over the world and that\u2019s the way we\u2019ll expect it\u2019ll be here,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3428\">Pentagon Pete Orders Sinister \u2018Taskforce\u2019 After Embarrassing Leaks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the State Department for clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s announcement comes as the U.S. is rapidly reescalating its war with Iran. <\/p>\n<p>The White House reached a temporary ceasefire deal with Tehran in mid-June, one that explicitly prohibited any tolls on commercial ships, but that deal has been undermined by repeated attacks in the region. Trump also proclaimed last week that the \u201cCease Fire is OVER!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to deal with [Iran] anymore,\u201d the president declared at the NATO summit last week.<\/p>\n<p>Following Trump\u2019s announcement, Iran disputed that the U.S. is in control of the strait, with Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi writing in an X post that Iran, not the U.S., controls the strait and should be \u201cbe compensated for this service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump\u2019s announcement, the United Nations\u2019 International Maritime Organization, the regulator of sea transport, also reasserted that it \u201cstands firmly against charging fees for passage through straits used for international navigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThere is no legal basis through which to introduce mandatory tolls simply to transit through a strait,\u201d the organization said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3426\">CNN Star Brutally Roasts Pentagon Pete<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio\u2019s statement from just last month, declaring that no country can charge tolls through the Strait of Hormuz, appears to directly contradict a new plan announced by his boss.
