Trump warns talks will stop if Iran is lying about Hormuz tolls
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Tehran has told Washington it does not intend to levy fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. In a post on the Truth social network, Trump referred to the claim and issued a sharp warning: “If it turns out to be a lie, the negotiations will end immediately.”
The remark ties the reported Iranian message directly to the broader U.S.-Iran talks, making the issue of transit charges in the strategic waterway a test of whether diplomacy can continue. Trump did not provide details on who in Tehran conveyed the message or whether Washington has independently verified it.
The statement leaves the immediate next step dependent on confirmation of Iran’s position. If the claim proves false, Trump said the negotiations would stop at once.
