The United States Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority, which is responsible for collecting transit fees for vessels navigating the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. This action, announced on Wednesday, targets the newly established agency as part of broader efforts to address Iran's maritime activities. The sanctions are aimed at restricting the agency's operations and limiting its ability to generate revenue from shipping traffic in the region.
