US prohibits deals with Iran for Hormuz Strait passage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The U.S. Treasury has clarified that any deals with Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz are prohibited, regardless of whether a payment is involved. This directive aims to prevent U.S. persons from receiving services from the Iranian government, including guarantees of safe transit.
