President Trump has taken decisive action by reinstating a blockade on Iranian ports, a move that is expected to heighten tensions in the region. This blockade comes amid ongoing conflicts and military operations involving the US.

As part of this new policy, a 20% charge will be levied on all cargo that passes through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for global oil supplies.

The US military has confirmed that it has commenced its third consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets, indicating a significant escalation in military engagement in the area.
