๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:
The United States Government will not tolerate any effort to impose a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved - directly or indirectly - in facilitating tolls for the Strait and any willing partners will be penalized. All nations should reject outright any efforts by Iran to disrupt the free flow of commerce. Tehranโ€™s days of terrorizing the region and the world are over.
