Middle East Crisis: Iran Plans Tax on Hormuz Shipping,Trump Calls Nuclear Iran a “Cancer” Amid Rising Protests

Amid escalating tensions, Iran is reportedly preparing a major move regarding the Strait of Hormuz. According to media reports, Iran plans to impose a tax on ships passing through the strategic waterway. A draft law has reportedly been prepared and may soon be presented in the Iranian parliament, aiming to regulate and charge vessels for transit. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric, describing a nuclear-armed Iran as a “cancer” and claiming that the U.S. has already taken steps to eliminate the threat. At the same time, large-scale protests have erupted across Iran, with citizens rallying in support of the government and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Demonstrators raised slogans against United States and Israel, expressing strong backing for Iran’s military actions. Despite the rising conflict, reports suggest Trump wants the war to end quickly, possibly within weeks, highlighting a contrast between military escalation and diplomatic intentions.
