President Donald Trump reinstated the US blockade of Iranian ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and demanded a 20% reimbursement on all other cargo shipped through the waterway. Trump’s announcement Monday, in which he asserted the US would become the waterway’s “GUARDIAN,” intensifies an ongoing spat between Washington and Tehran over the status of the crucial shipping passage at the center of the two nations’ revived conflict. US military forces will resume blockading traffic to and from Iranian ports and coastal areas beginning July 14 at 4 p.m. New York time, Central Command said in a statement. Oil prices rose more than 9% Monday as traders rushed to price in flows through Hormuz possibly slowing again, while stocks and bonds fell.
