Trump says US 'taking over' Hormuz as fighting with Iran flares
Context
The United States is "taking over" the Strait of Hormuz and will be paid for protecting it, US President Donald Trump declared on Monday, as Washington and Tehran once again fought over the vital waterway. The Strait of Hormuz was not an issue before the United States and Israel began their war with Iran in February, and passage through it was free, but Tehran subsequently blocked the waterway and now sees it as essential leverage over Washington.
