US officials, including President Trump, are denying Iran’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed after accusing the US and Israel of violating the memorandum of understanding. “There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired,” Trump said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Iran claimed it was closing the Strait again after continued fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon on Friday and Saturday. Iran says Israel’s refusal to withdraw troops from Lebanon violates the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran.However, US Central Command said in a statment this morning that “Commercial ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz increased June 20 as U.S. forces continued operating in the general area to support freedom of navigation.” The statement continued, “Safe passage through the international waterway remained intact today as 55 merchant ships transited, moving large amounts of cargo and more than 17 million barrels of oil to global markets.”Iran Says It’s Closing the Strait of Hormuz After Accusing US and Israel of Violations – VP Vance Says Strait is Still Open With Record Amount of Traffic (VIDEO)/*!
