Deep Tide TechFlow message. On July 13, according to AXIOS, Trump announced on Monday that the United States is restarting its maritime blockade of Iran and will prevent any ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports. He also claimed that the United States will charge a “20% fee” for ensuring safe passage for cargo ships, but the details and seriousness of the proposal are still unclear. Due to legal requirements to give shipowners 24 hours’ advance notice, the newly restarted maritime blockade has not yet taken effect. A U.S. official said that U.S. Central Command will release the specific timing later on Monday evening. (Jin10)
