US President Donald Trump said ongoing negotiations with Iran could collapse if Tehran’s assurances about not imposing tolls or charges in the strategic Strait of Hormuz prove false. Trump stated that Iran had informed Washington that ships would continue to pass through the vital waterway without fees, aiming to ease concerns over global energy supplies and trade routes. He also defended plans involving the release of frozen Iranian funds, saying the money would be subject to strict oversight and used for approved purposes. The remarks come amid delicate US-Iran talks focused on regional stability, maritime security, and nuclear-related issues. (PC: Reuters)
