U.S. Official: U.S. Military Will Announce the Specific Start Time of "Blockading Iran" Later

The Odaily Planet Daily reported that, according to AXIOS: Trump announced on Monday that the United States is restarting its maritime blockade of Iran and will prevent any ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports. He also claimed that the U.S. would charge a "20% fee" for guaranteeing the safe passage of cargo ships, but the details and seriousness of this initiative remain unclear. Because the law requires 24-hour advance notice to ship owners, the newly restarted maritime blockade has not yet taken effect. A U.S. official stated that the U.S. Central Command will announce the specific time later on Monday.
