Overnight, the US launching a new round of strikes against Iran as the war is now clearly back on.
For 5 hours, the US striking Iranian military targets, including coastal defense systems and missile and drone sites.
Iran responding, striking two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Bahrain and Jordan also confirming they intercepted a number of Iranian missiles overnight.
Iran and the US now battling for control of the Strait of Hormuz.
After Iran announced it's closing down the critical waterway, the president now stating the US blockade of Iranian ports.
Going even further, Trump declaring the US will soon become, quote, "the guardian of the Hormuz Strait" and announcing plans to charge a 20% fee on all cargo that passes through it.
We're spending money. And so, what we've done is we are going to be reimbursed for protection.
That plan directly contradicts what his own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said just days ago.
The charging of fee would violate international law.
No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway.
That's existing international law.
That's the way it is in international waterways all over the world, and that's the way we expect it'll be here.
Before Trump launched this war, the Strait was an international waterway.
Ships able to pass through freely.
Now, if Trump's fee goes into effect, a massive oil tanker transporting 2 million barrels could have to pay the US upwards of $32 million.
Iran's foreign minister mocking the president's proposal, writing, "Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and will remain so forever."
The president has also formally notified Congress that fighting with Iran has resumed.
A clear admission that his temporary peace deal has now completely broken down.
