How the call settles

No Iranian announcement, by the close of Trump's stated deadline, that it will not charge fees or tolls on shipping transiting the Strait of Hormuz

Our reasoning

YES on the research record because Iran made no announcement dropping Hormuz fees by Trump's deadline. Instead, on July 13, 2026 Trump reimposed the naval blockade of Iranian ports (effective 4 p.m. EDT) and declared a 20% US toll on Hormuz cargo, while Iran publicly asserted its right to manage traffic and charge fees under the interim deal; the US launched new strikes the same day.. Applied stored rule: No Iranian announcement, by the close of Trump's stated deadline, that it will not charge fees or tolls on shipping transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Outcome evidence

Iran made no announcement dropping Hormuz fees by Trump's deadline. Instead, on July 13, 2026 Trump reimposed the naval blockade of Iranian ports (effective 4 p.m. EDT) and declared a 20% US toll on Hormuz cargo, while Iran publicly asserted its right to manage traffic and charge fees under the interim deal; the US launched new strikes the same day.
