President Donald Trump warned that if a peace deal with Iran is not reached within 60 days, the United States may begin charging tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a single report from OSINTdefender.
President Donald Trump warned early Sunday that if no peace agreement with Iran is reached within 60 days, the United States may begin charging tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a single report from the OSINTdefender channel. The warning introduces a specific enforcement mechanism — toll collection — as a potential U.S. response, building on a thread of conflicting statements over the past 24 hours.
As The Zioneer reported Saturday at 22:18 Jerusalem, Trump had rejected Iranian negotiator warnings that transit fees would be collected, stating there would be no toll. Earlier Saturday at 22:18 Jerusalem, Trump had also issued a warning via the Abu Ali Express channel, saying in his 'own special way' that no tolls would be collected. Those statements followed U.S. officials telling Axios they had seen no evidence of an operational Iranian blockade. The thread's first version, published at 22:18 Jerusalem Saturday, had Trump saying no tolls would apply during a 60-day ceasefire period and afterward only if the U.S. levied them. The current warning shifts from denying Iranian tolls to threatening U.S.-imposed tolls if no deal is reached.
Background reporting by The Zioneer on June 6 noted Trump had given Iran a 60-day deadline to reach a nuclear deal, and on June 12 the desk reported the sides were close to a 60-day ceasefire agreement that would reopen the strait without tolls. An Iranian negotiating team member warned early Sunday that payment at Hormuz would be exacted, a position Trump had previously rejected.
The warning remains based on a single source — OSINTdefender — and has not been corroborated by other outlets or official U.S. channels.
