Tensions between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz could escalate again; Donald Trump says the world should pay for the strait’s security.

US President Donald Trump has once again adopted a tough stance. He asserts that oil supplies from Hormuz are continuing uninterrupted; therefore, nations across the globe—which have not assisted the US in any way—must compensate America once this conflict concludes, and they will be compelled to do so. Additionally, Trump has claimed that Iran is eager to reach an agreement soon.
