President Trump posted a statement on the status of the Strait of Hormuz on his Truth Social account.
Trump says there will be "no tolls" in the Strait, "unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America."
His statement comes after Iranian officials said the Strait of Hormuz was closed again.

Related Truth Social post today:
There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DJT
Great.
We’ve gone from military superiority to empty threats. /s
An interesting post...In other words....tolls ain’t gonna happen. We’re gonna charge tolls in International Waters?? Yeh,,right
We’ll OWN the Persian Gulf before this is over.
This sucker js so dumb. He’s begging for every country on Earth to treat us as parasites.
Yep, no tolls in the Strait, but the Iranians just shut it down again.
Yeeha! Stock up on food.
I’v stopped paying attention to or taking anything serious if it comes from Truth Social. I’m done with the bluster and empty threats coming out of that source.
some AI wizard out there should be able to whip up quickly
an “ORANGEMAN Frosty Corn Flakes with Hormuz” cereal box :)
If they don’t like it they can send their own ships to protect it. The fools on “our” side who complain when Trump is being too tough and then complain when he’s being “weak”. Give it a rest. Iran is the only one to blame about anything.
Empty threats? 1 world leader dead and another in prison inside of 6 months. Trump not moving fast enough for ya 😂
Ver well put, wp. Thx
This was not really directed at the IRGC. It’s directed against the whole region. He saying EVERYBODY is going to pay tolls.
The old Trump wouldn't threaten anyone, he'd just act.
I just don’t know what to think. I read, “It’s finished” then a week later. “We’ve won” then the next week another declaration of victory. I understand Muzzies use taqiyyah (lying) so I keep telling myself that’s why the victories are just Lucy pulling the football from Charlie Brown. Can they be bombed into submission? How do we win?
Tolls shall be paid in Trump Coins.
Don't change the regime, change the geography. Geography is still destiny.
Trump threatens, Trump threatens.....even he should realise that this skit is running dry,
Or the new Trump Two-Fitty bills, legal tender for all who wish to pay obeisance to the Bad Orange Man.
