ONP Summary
Military escalation continued over consecutive nights, including U.S. sea drone attacks on Iranian facilities. Trump announced a 20% toll on maritime cargo in the Strait of Hormuz, triggering U.S. public concerns about entering an indefinite conflict.

Conservative:Strategic enforcement — conservative outlets present the Strait control and toll plan as necessary security measures for a critical waterway, though experts question the legal authority for unilateral collection.
