Donald Trump has abandoned plans to charge ships using the Strait of Hormuz, just a day after announcing the controversial proposal. His administration has pressed ahead with a renewed blockade of Iranian shipping and another round of military strikes, but the U.S. President says that instead of the fee scheme, Gulf states will instead invest in the United States. Iran insists the ceasefire agreement reached last month has effectively collapsed, as both sides continue to exchange attacks.Donald Trump has abandoned plans to charge ships using the Strait of Hormuz, just a day after announcing the controversial proposal.His administration has pressed ahead with a renewed blockade of Iranian shipping and another round of military strikes, but the U.S. President says that instead of the fee scheme, Gulf states will instead invest in the United States.Iran insists the ceasefire agreement reached last month has effectively collapsed, as both sides continue to exchange attacks.

Adopted by universities, public institutions, and governments across the globe, including here in Australia, supporters argue it helps recognise antisemitism in a consistent way, while critics say it can be used to blur the line between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of the state of Israel.
