Washington — The United States on Wednesday added Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority to the Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list, the Office of Foreign Assets Control said, after the authority was launched on May 18 to manage requests for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The listing cites alleged attempts to impose tolls on commercial vessels and links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The designation, announced May 27–28, forms part of the U.S. 'Economic Fury' campaign; Treasury statements warned that anyone cooperating with the authority may face sanctions. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent described the action as a response to alleged extortion of maritime trade, and officials this week urged shipping firms and insurers to assess exposure and compliance risks.
