Trump threatens Iran with charging fees for the Strait of Hormuz as talks stall

US President Donald Trump and Iran continue implementing the two-week ceasefire agreed on Wednesday. Following the agreement, Trump announced that American military forces and equipment will remain in the Middle East region until a "real deal" is reached between the two sides. At the same time, he again threatened Iran with statements about destroying its civilization, drawing condemnation from the UN Secretary-General and Pope Leo XIV. According to a report by the New York Times, the threat to annihilate Iran had dramatic consequences – 36 hours of intense chaos disrupted the negotiations and presented serious challenges in the attempt to stabilize the situation. dennikn.sk ↗

Most recently, Trump warned Iran not to under any circumstances collect fees for tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. If Tehran is introducing such fees, it should, according to the American president, stop immediately. This call comes at a time when tanker traffic through the critical strait remains largely frozen. The initial wave of relief following the ceasefire announcement was quickly replaced by doubts about its long-term sustainability. Oil prices rose on Friday due to the continuing paralysis of trade in the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts warn that within a maximum of two weeks, when the ceasefire deadline expires, the situation will change significantly, and all key "players" will realize how Trump tried to fool the international community. ekonomika.sme.sk ↗

The situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate. Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Iran of drone attacks on its territory, despite the ceasefire having taken effect on Wednesday. Similarly, there were reports of damage to a pipeline in Saudi Arabia. These incidents suggest that the stability of the agreed ceasefire is seriously threatened. pravda.sk ↗

The United States is also facing domestic challenges. Inflation in the US rose to 3.3 percent, the highest level since 2022. The rapid rise in energy and food prices is directly linked to geopolitical tension in the Middle East and the war against Iran. European lawmakers blame Trump for rising food prices and describe his policy as egotistical. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer sharply criticized both Trump and Putin, as their actions are driving up energy prices for Britons. Starmer's comment "I've had enough" reflects the growing frustration of European leaders with American policy. hnonline.sk ↗

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met with Trump at the White House in a meeting that sources described as a "tirade of insults." Trump repeatedly used vulgar language, criticizing NATO for allegedly insufficient support.
