President Donald Trump slammed Iran Thursday night for doing a "very poor job" of letting oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
The United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday that was contingent on Iran reopening the Strait, which is a critical waterway where about 20% of the world's oil passed through before the conflict broke out in February.
"Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz," Trump posted on Truth Social. "That is not the agreement we have!"
The president also warned Iran not to charge oil tankers who are traveling through the Strait, stating that if they are doing so as reported then they "better stop now."
