Donald Trump says he is reimposing the US blockade on Iranian ports tomorrow, just over three weeks after it was lifted as part of the truce.

Trump said the US would ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open, but he plans to charge all ships a 20% fee for safe passage through the waterway.

Iran and the US have been exchanging fresh strikes over the last 24 hours and it’s all sent oil prices jumping more than 5%.
