Trump; US Will Blockade Iran In Strait Of Hormuz

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States is “reinstating” a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and will charge ships for safe passage. He made the announcement in a post on social media Monday, after another exchange of fire between the United States and Iran over the critical waterway. A fifth of the world’s oil and gas passed through the strait before Iran asserted control over it after the start of the war.
