On July 13, local time, US President Trump said in a post on the social media platform “Real Social” that the Strait of Hormuz is currently open and will remain open regardless of Iran's participation or not. The United States will re-implement the “blockade against Iran”. This measure targets only Iranian ships or customers and restricts their entry and exit from the strait. All other countries can use the strait fairly and openly. He also said that the US will charge 20% for all goods transported through here, and related processes and deployment work will begin immediately.
