The US bans its citizens and entities from paying the Strait of Hormuz toll to Iran

On April 29th, the Office of Foreign Assets Control under the US Treasury released a statement on the 28th declaring that US individuals and entities are prohibited from paying the toll for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz to Iran. The document states that US individuals, US financial institutions, and any foreign entities owned or controlled by the US are not allowed to directly or indirectly pay the toll to the Iranian government or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Office of Foreign Assets Control indicated that non-US individuals or entities that pay the toll to Iran also face significant sanction risks. Due to sanctions imposed by the US on the Iranian government and IRGC under the pretext of nuclear non-proliferation and counter-terrorism, foreign financial institutions and other non-US individuals or entities that engage in certain transactions or activities with sanctioned entities will face sanction risks. Transactions involving certain sectors of the Iranian economy may also expose foreign individuals or entities to sanction risks. On the same day, the Office of Foreign Assets Control added 17 foreign individuals and 18 foreign entities to the sanctions list related to Iran. #Strategy增持比特币
