In a written message, Khamenei said Tehran would eliminate what he described as “the enemies’ abuses of the waterway” under new management of the strait. “Foreigners who come from thousands of kilometres away … have no place there except at the bottom of its waters,” he said.

Iran TV Declares Full Hormuz Closure After Bombing U.S. Bases
Iran TV Declares Full Hormuz Closure After Bombing U.S. Bases US President Donald Trump claimed a “great settlement” with Iran is nearing completion after abruptly cancelling planned strikes amid rapidly shifting tensions in the Middle East. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said final documents are being prepared and suggested the agreement could be signed in Europe in the coming days. The announcement follows a volatile period of exchanges between U.S. forces and Iranian-linked positions across the region. While Trump described the development as a major diplomatic breakthrough, Iranian officials have not confirmed any agreement. The situation remains fluid as global powers monitor the unfolding negotiations. Iran has dramatically announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any vessel attempting to transit the strategic waterway could be targeted. The declaration came after fresh US strikes on Iranian territory, with Tehran accusing Washington of escalating the conflict. Simultaneously, Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed to have launched retaliatory attacks on key US military installations in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, including airbases and command centers…

Donald Trump says no toll on Strait of Hormuz, threatens a US levy if ... US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that no toll will be charged for passage through the Strait of Hormuz during or after the 60-day interim ceasefire with Iran, while also threatening to impose it himself if the peace talks fail. In a post on Truth Social, Trump threatened that the US could impose its own toll on the passage through the Strait if the Iran talks, which are expected to start on Sunday in Switzerland, don't yield results in the stipulated 60 days. The interim deal gives negotiators 60 days to reach a nuclear agreement, but that can be extended. "There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs," Trump wrote in the post. The announcements indicated a rough start to technical-level U.S.-Iran talks that key mediator Pakistan said will begin on…

Why Trump Didn't Plan for the Strait of Hormuz - The Atlantic
Why Trump Didn't Plan for the Strait of Hormuz - The Atlantic Listen − 1.0 x + Seek 0:00 8:28 Astonishingly, President Trump and his aides were caught unprepared when Iran, under air assault from the United States and Israel, retaliated by targeting shipping in the Persian Gulf region and specifically through the Strait of Hormuz. Military planners have pointed out for decades that the waterway—through which one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes—is highly vulnerable to Iranian assault. But the Trump administration acknowledged in classified briefings, CNN reported last night, that it did not make provisions for a closure because officials assumed that such a move would hurt Iran more than the United States. In its failure to anticipate Iran’s reaction, the administration ignored a dynamic that former Defense Secretary James Mattis, a first-term Trump appointee, was fond of pointing out: Once hostilities begin, “the enemy gets a vote.” U.S. leaders have drastically underestimated the Iranian regime’s ability to survive, adjust, and strike back. Just two weeks into a war that began at a time of the president’s choosing, the U.S. appears uncertain about what t…

Donald Trump says ships are starting to move out of Strait of Hormuz ... US President Donald Trump on Monday said that the commercial and maritime vessels, which were stuck in the conflict-torn Strait of Hormuz, have started moving after Washington and Tehran agreed on a peace deal. The truce pact is expected to be signed on June 19. Talking about the development from his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, "Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz. They are going along the Southern “Highway,” which is totally safe, secure, and pristine. There are other areas of travel, also!!!" Trump's social media post came hours after the United States and Iran agreed to sign the truce deal that is aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting negotiations over Tehran's nuclear programme. Although the full text of the proposed deal has not been revealed yet, a senior Iranian official with some knowledge of the draft memorandum told Reuters that the deal involves several key provisions, including sanction relief and the resumption of nuclear talks, and lifting restrictions on Iranian ports.

The US leader had earlier said the ceasefire with Iran was over after the latest fighting, which led mediators Pakistan and Qatar and the United Nations to call for de-escalation. Efforts to end the Middle East war took a hit following the fighting sparked by Iranian attacks on ships in the vital Strait of Hormuz. Its military has struck at least three ships in recent days, prompting extensive US strikes against Iranian targets overnight - followed by retaliatory attacks from Iran on Gulf countries. Advertisement Advertise with NZME. Trump said at the Nato summit: “We’re going to hit them hard tonight. They violate the agreement every day.” Later, however, he added that “anything that happens is going to be over very quickly... We’re not looking for long-term”.

Iran fully closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade and fires on ships Confusion over the critical chokepoint threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict, even as mediators expressed confidence a new deal was within reach. Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces.” Iran’s supreme leader vows more defeats for US and Israel at hands of Iranian navy The announcement was made the day after U.S. President Donald Trump said the American blockade “will remain in full force” until Tehran reaches a deal with the U.S., including on its nuclear program. After declaring the Strait of Hormuz open, Tehran maintained its grip on transit and threatened to close it again if the US kept in place its blockade of Iranian ships and ports. U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters accompanying him aboard Air Force One to Washington that a deal is “going to happen,” and flatly rejected the idea of restrictions or tolls by Iran on the Strait of Hormuz.

This statement comes amidst ongoing tensions in the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury. The potential blockade could heighten tensions, as a fragile ceasefire currently exists between the U.S. and Iran. Trump’s comments suggest a possible escalation, which may impact global oil supply as the Strait of Hormuz handles a significant portion of the world’s oil transit. Advertisement Key Takeaways Trump’s statement appears to have significantly impacted market perceptions, with a notable increase in the likelihood of a U.S. blockade on Iran being announced by December 31. Pricing suggests a 29% probability of a blockade announcement by the end of July, reflecting heightened concerns over immediate escalation. The possibility of normalizing traffic through the Strait of Hormuz by July 31 appears less likely, …

Trump threatens to 'take over' Iran if Tehran closes the Strait of ... Donald Trump threatened to “take over” Iran if the Strait of Hormuz was not immediately re-opened, the president told Fox News. His latest round of threats came in response to news Saturday that Iran was once again closing the key waterway, just days after signing an agreement to ensure that traffic could flow through. Iran announced that it would close the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli forces continued an all-out assault into Lebanon aimed at dislodging Hezbollah militants. Fox’s Trey Yingst reported Sunday that in an early morning phone call, the U.S. president said he’d warned Iranian officials directly that "you close [the Strait of Hormuz] and you won't have a country.” "You won't even make it back to your f***** country,” Yingst said the president claimed to have relayed to the Iranians, adding: “We'll take over the rest of the country." The threat to occupy Iran as a whole is a new step for the president, who has been seeking a way out of the war he began since the conflict kicked off in February. In the days leading up to the ceasefire extension signing on Wednesday, the president was reportedly consid…

He added the tolls would be “for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs.” Hours later, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said it would close the strait again, citing what it called continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon despite an agreed ceasefire there, and accusing Washington of failing to honour the first article of theUS-Iran ceasefire memorandum.The statement was carried by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB.

Trump calls Strait of Hormuz the 'Strait of Trump' - CNBC
Trump calls Strait of Hormuz the 'Strait of Trump' - CNBC PresidentDonald Trumpon Friday winkingly referred to theStrait of Hormuz, the vitaloil-shipping route and a key choke point in theIran war, as the "Strait of Trump." Iran has to "open up the Strait of Trump — I mean, Hormuz," the president said in a speech at the Future Investment Initiative in Miami, garnering laughs from the crowd. "Excuse me. I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake," he said, feigning apologetics before clarifying, "The fake news will say, 'He accidentally said' — No, there's no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, we'd have a major story." The comment came as the strait has emerged as a key source of conflict in the war, which is poised to enter its second month even as the U.S. boasts that it has "obliterated" Iran's military. Iran's continued ability to effectively block the strait — blocking the path that normally ferries 20 million oil barrels per day — has contributed to a historic disruption of global energy supply and prices. On Monday, Trump floated the possibility that the strait could be controlled jointly by "me and the ayatollah" as part of a resolution to the war. Trump has s…
