President Donald Trump announced on June 24 that Iran has informed the United States it will not charge any fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Trump shared this information on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, "Despite the fake news from troublemaking sources, Iran has told the U.S. that there are 'no tolls, insurance fees, or any other kind of charges' for passage through the Strait of Hormuz."
He warned, "If this notification is false, subsequent negotiations will end immediately."
Trump also emphasized that the U.S. has never provided money to Iran or released frozen funds abroad. He claimed that some of the Iranian funds under U.S. control would go to American farmers and ranchers.
"Iran is in desperate need of food," Trump added, stating, "We will only purchase it (food) from the U.S. for them."
