Iran is persisting in restricting maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, ignoring President Trump's demands to allow free passage, according to a single unverified Iranian the source.
A single unverified Iranian the source reports that Iran continues to prevent ships from freely transiting the Strait of Hormuz, effectively making a mockery of President Trump's demands for unhindered passage. The claim aligns with Iran's established position of demanding tolls for Hormuz transit, which the Trump administration and U.S. officials have repeatedly rejected. As The Zioneer previously reported, Iranian officials have stated that only limited ships may cross daily, and that fee collection continues despite U.S. opposition. The report is not independently verified and comes from a single source, with no confirmation from official Iranian or maritime channels.
