Cotton Pushes Sanctions on Any Nation Backing Iran's Hormuz Strait 'Toll Booth'

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) is pressing the Trump administration to immediately sanction any country or entity helping Iran establish a "toll booth" in the Strait of Hormuz that could net the hardline regime as much as $2 million per vessel. The senator says that he is crafting new legislation that will aid the Trump administration's efforts to stop Iran from bullying vessels in the pivotal shipping corridor, according to a copy of Cotton's request obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
