. The United States has warned shipping companies that they could face sanctions if they make payments to Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.The alert, issued Friday by the US office of foreign assets control, comes amid rising tensions over control of the strategic waterway. Watch Iran Defies US Warships? Satellite Images Show ‘OIL TANKERS LOADING’ At Kharg; ‘NOTHING CAN STOP…’The Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of global oil and natural gas trade typically passes in peacetime, has been heavily disrupted. Iran has effectively restricted normal traffic after attacking and threatening ships following strikes launched by US and Israel on February 28.Iran later began offering some vessels safe passage by rerouting them closer to its shoreline and charging fees for the service. The US described this system as a “tollbooth” arrangement and said the payments are now the focus of its sanctions warning.The Office of Foreign Assets Control said payment demands could include cash, digital assets, offsets, informal swaps, in-kind payments, charitable donations, or payments at Iranian embassies. It added, “OFAC is issuing this alert to warn US and non-US persons about the sanctions risks of making these payments to, or soliciting guarantees from, the Iranian regime for safe passage. These risks exist regardless of payment method,” it said.In response to Iran’s actions, the US imposed a naval blockade on April 13, preventing Iranian tankers from leaving and cutting off oil revenue. The US Central Command said 45 commercial ships have been ordered to turn around since the blockade began.The escalation has further strained global energy markets, pushing up prices and causing shortages linked to oil supply routes passing through the region.As tensions continue, US President Donald Trump also rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end the conflict.“They want to make a deal, I’m not satisfied with it, so we’ll see what happens,” Trump said Friday at the White House. He also said, “It’s a very disjointed leadership,” and added, “They all want to make a deal, but they’re all messed up.”Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported that the proposal was delivered to mediators in Pakistan on Thursday night. Talks between the two sides have continued through indirect channels, even as both accuse each other of violating a fragile ceasefire.About the AuthorTOI World DeskAt TOI World Desk, our dedicated team of seasoned journalists and passionate writers tirelessly sifts through the vast tapestry of global events to bring you the latest news and diverse perspectives round the clock.

NEW DELHI: Clashes broke out between supporters of the BJP and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in South 24 Parganas during repolling in West Bengal on Saturday, with allegations emerging that some voters were being prevented from casting their ballots. Security forces were deployed in large numbers to bring the situation under control and ensure voting continued.The repoll is being held in 15 polling stations across Magrahat Paschim and Diamond Harbour constituencies after the Election Commission of India declared the April 29 voting in these booths void following reports of irregularities. Fresh polling is being conducted from 7 am to 6 pm under heightened security arrangements.According to officials, 11 booths in Magrahat Paschim and four in Diamond Harbour are undergoing repolling based on reports submitted by returning officers and election observers. The decision was taken under provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.The repoll follows allegations of EVM tampering and voter obstruction in parts of Diamond Harbour’s Falta segment. BJP leaders claimed that voters were unable to select their party due to interference with the machines.In a post on X, BJP leader Amit Malviya said, “This is what Mamata Banerjee was defending when she spoke up for Jehangir Khan, a criminal contesting on a TMC ticket from Falta in Diamond Harbour. In several polling booths, the option to vote for the BJP has been blocked using a tape, effectively preventing voters from exercising their choice. This is the so-called ‘Diamond Harbour Model,’ the same template that helped Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee secure his Lok Sabha seat.”Earlier, West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal had said complaints regarding such incidents would be examined. “If reports of taping of any button come in, that should be verified and noted. If true, those booths will go for a repoll,” he said.Authorities said extensive security arrangements have been put in place to prevent further disturbances, with central forces deployed at sensitive polling stations. The final phase of polling in the state concluded on April 29 with turnout nearing 90 percent.Counting of votes is scheduled for May 4, with security tightened at strong rooms in Howrah and other districts.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
