Summary
The United States has so far advocated that the strait should remain open to all, without tolls - as was the case before the Israeli-North American attacks on Iran on 28 February. The Emirates threatened to retaliate against Iran, which could lead the nation that shelters Abu Dhabi and Dubai back into conflict with Tehran. The Central Command of the U.S. Armed Forces (Centcom) claimed to have attacked areas around Abu Musa, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Chahbahar, Jask and Konarak, targeting Iranian "coastal defense systems, missile and drone installations and maritime capabilities".
Furthermore, Iran responded with attacks directed at Bahrain, Jordan and two oil tankers associated with the United Arab Emirates sailing through the strait, killing one sailor and wounding another eight. Donald Trump also provided further details on the suggestion that the United States will charge tolls to ships crossing the strait, in a twist after stating before that would not happen. Any attempt by the United States or Iran to charge fees will violate global standards on freedom of navigation and will increase tensions, with any corresponding economic disturbances, far beyond the region.
In addition, We are restoring the blockade”, he added. Trump's statement comes in the midst of the growing pressure from the US on Cuba, after the US Government extended sanctions against authorities and entities linked to the Cuban Government. Trump stated that his goal remains to prevent Iran from developing or maintaining capabilities that he considers a threat to the United States and its allies.
Moreover, Trump's announcement of imposing charges on other ships for safe passage subverts hundreds of years of American policy to support freedom of navigation around the world.
