The US has warned shipping companies they could face sanctions if they pay Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
An alert on Friday by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) warned US persons and companies were generally banned from paying Iranian government entities, and non-US persons may risk exposure to sanctions if they pay.
“Maritime industry participants involved with vessels calling at Iranian ports face significant sanctions risk under multiple sanctions authorities targeting Iran’s shipping sector and ports”, OFAC said.
Iran has severely limited traffic through the strait since the war began in February. The US has also enforced a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
They never should’ve allowed him to continue. They voted not to stop him and now things are even worse. Idiots, all of them.
At least vote to end hostilities and override the president now that you know we’ve lost.
They’re not idiots. They’re corrupt and are getting rich and powerful from this.
“The insider trading will continue until the Empire falls”.
Congress DGAF. Conservatives cheer for a monarch to empower their hate while establishment Democrats wring their center right hands over the fires of the workers’ lives they’re burning to get rich.
Until there’s a real left party and real economic justice it’s just a pantomime to keep people from taking inspiration from 1789 France.
They all cashed their checks and looked the other way. we are being represented by cowards and traitors.
