Trump Announces "BLOCKADE" of Persian Gulf
United States President Donald Trump has announced the United States will now BLOCKADE the Persian Gulf. No ships in or out.
He also makes clear that Iran cannot force ships to pay a toll (or tax) for transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and calls this "Extortion."
Strangely, Trump also said that any vessel which HAS paid the toll to get out of the Persian Gulf "will not be safe on the high seas."
Here is Trump's public posting on the matter from his Social Media account:
