U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States was reimposing a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

"We are reinstating the Iranian blockade, so named because it is only stopping Iran's ships or customers from entering or leaving," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He claimed that the United States would serve as the "guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz and would impose a 20 percent toll on all cargo shipped through the strategic waterway.

The toll would help cover "any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world," Trump said, adding "the process and formation will begin immediately".

In a phone interview with Fox News on Monday, Trump threatened further military strikes against Iran, accusing Tehran of violating ceasefire agreements.

"We had a deal. It was a done deal, and then they broke it. They always break it. We've had 10 deals with these people, and so we're just going to hit them very hard," he said.
