Washington: The United States has sanctioned the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the ⁠body Iran has set up to manage ⁠the Strait of Hormuz, ‌the Treasury Department said ​on Wednesday.

Since they are not on the swift system, nor are they using dollars….the US sanctions are about as toothless as the folks in the nursing home down the street.

[Blue Highway]

The folks at the nursing home have more teeth than this sanction

[flamberge]

The only sanction that means anything is a bomb delivered to their offices.

[kawhill]

How about an ‘Eiger Sanction’?

[maddog55]

I believe NOTHING until I see a full report from the White House.

Try reading the article, the power is not against Iran specifically but anyone who would cooperate. They can be sanctioned as well. While is seems a stretch it is by no means totally useless, it has some value as a threat.

The article is a very short read, posters here would do well to read first before making baseless statements:

Your admonition is as effective as would be an admonishment to research correct spelling and usage.

“the US sanctions are...toothless”

But Trump has complete control over the IRGC.

They have nothing.

[reasonisfaith]

So tell us, what options does the IRGC have?

I say they have none.

And the globalists who installed them also have none.

Gas prices may fall.

The sanctions are a friendly warning to our “allies” in Oman

[Blue Highway]

If he has complete control over them why don’t they step down and resign?

Oil tankers waiting to go through the strait...

I liked that movie! That and the Osterman Weekend.

[reasonisfaith]

Because they’re psychopaths.

What psychopath has ever surrendered when he’s surrounded and disarmed?

[Vermont Lt]

And we are going to start sanctioning the gulf states? Riiiiight.

Jared would not like that. And he is the one cutting all the deals. Not the big guy.

[Blue Highway]

So how does Trump defeat that on your rationale?
