Iran accuses the US of interfering in its management of Hormuz \u2013 but controlling it means Tehran can also threaten the global economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Trump on Monday declared that the US was now the &#8220;guardian&#8221; of the Strait of Hormuz, and vowed to impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the waterway to pay for protecting it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Raising the stakes further, Trump said the US would also reimpose its naval blockade on Iran, in a bid to further squeeze the country&#8217;s struggling economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">US Central Command (Centcom) on Monday said that the US naval blockade on Iranian ports would be in effect from 16:00 Eastern Time (20:00 GMT\/21:00 BST) on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But in his latest post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: &#8220;I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future.&#8221; The US president provided no further details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He also said that the Strait &#8220;is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran&#8221; and that &#8220;oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Speaking later after talks in Washington with the new Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, Mr Trump said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t like the concept of a fee, but at the same time, it&#8217;s not fair that we&#8217;re protecting this Strait for the entire world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He said he had changed his initial fee plan after receiving numerous calls from Gulf leaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Meanwhile, shipping data shows traffic through the Strait has slowed to a two-months low. The benchmark Brent Crude oil price has also risen sharply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Iran effectively shut down the waterway &#8211; through which some 25% of the world&#8217;s oil and 20% of global liquefied natural gas previously passed &#8211; after the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran on 28 February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In a separate development on Tuesday, Israel&#8217;s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that his country&#8217;s retaliation against Iran would be &#8220;much more powerful&#8221; if it is attacked first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I will say it to the leaders of Iran: Do not count on things remaining quiet if you attack us,&#8221; he said in a video published on his social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
