Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) is urging Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to sanction any country or entity enabling or facilitating Iran’s new Strait of Hormuz toll system, including Oman, a major U.S. ally involved in helping Iran establish it.\nAccording to the report, Cotton, the first lawmaker to float legislation targeting the PGSA, warned that recognizing the authority violates freedom of navigation. “Every dollar collected directly finances a sanctioned terrorist entity,” he wrote.\nThe Department of the Treasury did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.\nOn Monday, the PGSA launched an official X account, declaring unauthorized vessel transit through the strait illegal and announcing it had begun operations.\nThe Trump administration has continuously objected to Iran’s efforts to impose shipping tolls through the Strait of Hormuz even after the conflict ends. President Donald Trump called the strait “international,” rejecting tolls outright.\nPhoto Courtesy: Shutterstock\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.2","shortVersion":"4.42.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2637322964","isCrawlerRequest":true}
