The peace deal with Iran appears to have completely unraveled as President Trump says he will reinstate the US blockade on Iranian ports to stop them selling oil. 
Iran fired on two more tankers in the Straight of Hormuz overnight, killing at least one crew member. 
That's despite a third night of air strikes by the US meant to stop those attacks. 
President Trump now says the US will control the straight and he says he wants to charge a 20% fee on all cargo passing through it, saying the US should be reimbursed for protecting quote a very rich portion of the world. 
That is something Secretary of State Marco Rubio has already said would be illegal under international law. 
And despite huge American military power, the US does not seem able to get the situation under control.
