“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” said Trump, who is strongly opposed to the idea of Iran charging ships a toll to pass through the strait.

“I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas,” he said.

    You should know that the Hormuz strait is an international water so you must imagine what will happen if other countries with similar geographical condition follow this act. They’ll think if Iran can get away with it so why can’t they?

      Why should the US get away with blockading it? It’s not even our part of the world! And it’s just Trump out for his own profits as usual.
