Trump Warns of U.S. Tolls in Strait of Hormuz if Final Iran Agreement Fails

Trump issued the warning during a public address, stating that the U.S. would impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz if a final agreement with Iran was not reached. The move was framed as a deterrent to prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program. The U.S. and Iran were set to begin technical-level talks on June 21, 2026, with Pakistan and Qatar serving as mediators. The talks were expected to address key issues including Iran's nuclear program and regional security.
