Senator Tom Cotton on Friday urged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to sanction the entity that runs the Strait of Hormuz passage‑fee system for Iran, including the IRGC‑linked Persian Gulf Strait Authority, and any foreign company that pays or facilitates those fees.
“The PGSA cannot operate without the consent of other nations, and the United States must ensure every actor enabling the terrorist Iranian regime is held accountable. I stand ready to work with you and am preparing legislation to further codify your efforts. In the meantime, I support the use of existing authorities to impose sanctions on the PGSA, its officers, and any foreign entity that pays, processes, or facilitates tolls to Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz," Cotton said.
The Persian Gulf Strait Authority is Iran’s latest attempt to illegally control the Strait of Hormuz.

I’m encouraging @SecScottBessent to sanction this criminal entity. https://t.co/J4BiYEaKUh
