## Resource

Senator advocates for sanctions against nations aiding Irans Strait of Hormuz toll system The chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee is pushing for sanctions against countries that support Irans new toll system in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil transportation. Irans Persian Gulf Strait Authority requires ships to fill out forms for safe passage, causing disruptions. The senator believes this system is funded by terrorist organization IRGC and warns that companies paying these tolls could face sanctions. The senator emphasizes that any country or company legitimizing this Iranian scheme undermines the global trading system and freedom of navigation.
