US, Iran Face Hormuz Dispute Escalates Over Maritime Transit Conditions | Watch

Has Donald Trump accepted Iran's new toll payment system in the Strait of Hormuz? An Israeli media report has claimed that dozens of oil and liquefied natural gas tankers have been allowed to transit the strategic waterway after receiving approval from Iran. Citing unnamed diplomatic and intelligence sources, the report alleges that some vessels were granted safe passage after payments were made to Iranian authorities or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to the report, many of the ships were carrying Qatari oil and LNG cargoes destined for major energy consumers in Asia, including India and China, as well as Europe. The claims have not been independently verified, and neither Washington nor Tehran has publicly confirmed the alleged arrangements.
