US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that Washington will not tolerate any attempts to impose a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz.

Axar.az reports that Bessent made the remarks in a post on X.

"The United States Government will not tolerate any effort to impose a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved - directly or indirectly - in facilitating tolls for the Strait and any willing partners will be penalized," he noted.

He also called on all countries to reject any Iranian efforts to disrupt the free flow of commerce.

"Tehran’s days of terrorizing the region and the world are over," Bessent added.
