Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), Iran's new body to manage the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, condemned the US sanctions on it and vowed to continue its operations "without interruptions." Firing back at the US, PGSA said that Washington has "failed to achieve" control on the Strait of Hormuz through warfare and will achieve the same results through sanctions.
"The US Treasury Department recently announced sanctions on PGSA. PGSA, while condemning this action, considers being sanctioned by a country whose leader takes pride in piracy as a sign of its own positive performance. You will not gain control over the Strait of Hormuz, which you failed to achieve through warfare and diplomacy, by means of sanctions either," PGSA said in a post on X.

تسلط بر #تنگه_هرمز را که در میدان و دیپلماسی به دست نیاوردید با تحریم هم به دست نخواهید آورد.
