WorldTrump reimposes Iran naval blockade and threatens Hormuz transit fees

President Donald Trump has reinstated a US naval blockade on Iranian ports, while warning that ships using the Strait of Hormuz will face hefty fees. Tehran responded mockingly, saying it would impose a lower charge on vessels passing through the strategic waterway. The move has intensified the dispute around access to the strait and maritime pressure on Iran. France 24’s Jennie Shin discussed the development with Aaron David Miller, a Carnegie Endowment senior fellow and former State Department Middle East analyst.
