Trump’s new Strait of Hormuz plan | BBC News
We ask the BBC’s business editor Simon Jack what President Donald Trump’s new strategy in the Strait of Hormuz means for the global economy – and what cards Iran has left to play as it threatens to block the Bab el-Mandeb strait at the mouth of the Red Sea.
President Trump has tried to exert more control over the Strait of Hormuz as the US-Iran ceasefire crumbles.
This week, Trump announced a 20% toll for all ships traversing the strait. But he quickly changed tack after receiving calls from regional leaders, saying he would instead make “massive” trade and investment deals with Gulf states – ostensibly in exchange for safe passage.
“I don’t like the concept of a fee,” he later told reporters. “But at the same time, it’s not fair that we’re protecting this Strait for the entire world.”
Trump has also claimed that “oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome power of the United States military,” although analysts say the traffic of oil and gas tankers through the Strait of Hormuz is still markedly lower than before the US-Israel war with Iran
Some have warned that global oil reserves could be running low.
And the White House is under increasing pressure to stabilise the US economy, and lower gas prices, before midterm elections in November.

It’s the latest example of an influencer’s digital persona disintegrating before our eyes. For several years, Angel Victoria Murdock has been portraying a life of self-made success, from real estate deals to a watchalong student experience at Duke University.
She curated hundreds of thousands of followers and even appeared on reality show Temptation Island – only, the majority of her online life appears to have been fabricated.
After being outed by real graduates of the programme she claimed to attend, Murdock’s profile has gone dark. On this episode, we examine her case, and the long line of predecessors who have leveraged a fake identity on social media.
Also this week, as long-time internet provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos cries foul over his deportation from the US, Matt and Marianna consider what his downfall tells us about the state of social media.
A man who forged a career from controversy, they discuss why the splintered conservative community may have united in abandoning him, and how cancel culture is evolving.
