Trump’s Ceasefire with Iran Effectively Collapses

“President Trump’s much-touted ceasefire with Iran effectively collapsed on Monday as he ordered the reinstatement of a naval blockade and announced that he will impose tolls on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, despite his own administration’s position that such fees violate international law,” the New York Times reports.

“As the ceasefire that he once hailed dissolved, Mr. Trump dismissed its importance, saying in a radio interview that such agreements ‘don’t mean much,’ while outlining no new strategy for how to resolve the conflict.”
