India, July 14 -- As both Washington and Tehran claim to control the Strait of Hormuz, Iran hit two UAE tankers in the critical commercial shipping route, while the US forces continued to attack Iran for the third consecutive night.
In a social media post on Monday US President Donald Trump insisted that the strait will "remain open" and said Washington would reinstate its blockade of Iranian ports.
He added that the US would begin to charge a 20 per cent fee on all goods passing through the waterway as its "guardian". He said the toll was necessary to provide "safety and security".
