US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that Iran is not seeking to charge tolls from the ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz and threatened that if the information turns out to be false, “negotiations between Washington and Tehran would end immediately.”
US and Iran ended the first round of negotiations in Switzerland on Monday, and both countries have offered conflicting accounts of financial incentives for Iran, control of the Strait of Hormuz , and Israel’s continued offensive in Lebanon.
Trump has faced criticism over the deal from his political adversaries, and it also includes hardliners in his Republican Party.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Iran has informed the US that, despite troublemaking Fake News reporting to the contrary, there are ‘no tolls, no insurance costs, & no other charges of any kind being sought or received by Iran on ships traveling the Strait of Hormuz’. If this is false information, negotiations would end, immediately!!”
