President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that the Iranian regime has told the United States it is not imposing tolls or fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a response to recent reports saying otherwise.

“Iran has informed the U.S. that, despite troublemaking Fake News reporting to the contrary, there are ‘no tolls, no insurance costs, & no other charges of any kind being sought or received by Iran on ships traveling the Strait of Horm,’” Trump wrote on Wednesday in a Truth Social post in mostly all caps.
