President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States is restarting a naval blockade on Iran and will stop any vessels from entering or leaving Iranian ports. He also said the U.S. would charge a “20% fee” for protecting the safe passage of cargo ships, though the details of that proposal — and whether it will actually be carried out — remain unclear. The blockade has not yet taken effect because U.S. law requires shipowners to receive 24 hours’ advance notice. A U.S. official said U.S. Central Command will announce the exact start time later on Monday. The report was cited by Odaily, attributing the information to AXIOS.
