Breaking: Attorney General Bondi Resigns, Iran Implements Strait Toll
Newly announced changes at the DOJ, Iran's controversial Strait of Hormuz toll, and international efforts to reopen the critical waterway. Get the latest updates on these developing stories.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced her resignation from the Department of Justice, effective at the end of the year. Bondi's tenure has been marked by high-profile cases and a close relationship with the Trump administration. Her departure comes amidst a broader shakeup at the DOJ, with several other senior officials also set to leave their posts in the coming months.
In a separate development, Iran has introduced a new toll system for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping chokepoint. The Iranian government claims the toll is necessary to cover the costs of securing the waterway, but the move has been met with international condemnation. Over 40 countries are now meeting to discuss ways to reopen the Strait and ensure the free flow of maritime trade.
