The IRGC said it turned back three ships and declared the strait closed to vessels travelling to or from ports linked to its enemies, Al Jazeera reported. Secretary of State Rubio called Iran's planned tolls illegal, unacceptable and dangerous, and G7 foreign ministers called for safe and toll-free navigation. The UN announced a task force led by Jorge Moreira da Silva to help fertiliser shipments, and Iran's UN ambassador said Tehran would facilitate humanitarian aid through the strait.
