WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) – The United States h

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) – 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.

. The authority is a body Iran has set up to manage requests for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

. Tehran’s grip on the strait, the conduit for about a fifth of the global oil supply, has sent the world economy into turmoil.

. It closed the strait after the U.S. and Israel launched its war against Iran on February 28.

. Anyone cooperating with the authority may be providing support to and receiving services from Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and may be sanctioned, the Treasury said in a statement.

. “The Iranian military’s latest attempt to extort global maritime trade is proof that Economic Fury has left the regime desperate for cash,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority published a map last week reaffirming Tehran’s claims to a wide stretch of water on either side of the choke point.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) – Iran‘s Revolutionary Guard said on Thursday it targeted a U.S. airbase after the U.S. military carried out what a Washington official said were strikes targeting an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz, hours after President Donald Trump rejected a report he was close to a compromise deal with Tehran.

The escalation in hostilities highlighted threats to the tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran that took effect in early April, dampening hopes for a peace deal and sending oil prices surging again.

The U.S. official, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about military operations, told Reuters the military shot down four Iranian attack drones and struck a ground control station in the port city of Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.

“These actions were measured, purely defensive and intended to maintain the ceasefire,” the official said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted a U.S. base in response to what it described as an early morning U.S. attack near Bandar Abbas airport, Tasnim news agency reported. The IRGC said they targeted the U.S. airbase from which the attack on the control station near Bandar Abbas was launched.

Kuwait – which hosts a large U.S. base – said it was responding to missile and drone attacks without saying where the attacks were coming from.

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was unconcerned about the political fallout of an extended conflict with Iran, and that Iranian leaders had miscalculated if they thought the November midterm elections would force him into a deal.

“They thought they were going to outwait me,” Trump said at a White House cabinet meeting, referring to Iran‘s leadership. “You know, ‘We’ll outwait him. He’s got the midterms.’ I don’t care about the midterms.”

May 27 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the U.S. and Iran still have issues to resolve in peace talks, after Washington dismissed an Iranian state television report of a framework deal to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within a month and to lift a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ships.

Trump told a cabinet meeting that Iran remained keen to end the war, which has choked global energy supplies through the strategic waterway, but that the terms did not satisfy Washington.

“Iran is very much intent, they want very much to make a deal. So far they haven’t gotten there … We’re not satisfied with it, but we will be. Either that or we’ll have to just finish the job,” he said, without elaborating.

“The deal has got to be perfect,” he later added, insisting that the Strait of Hormuz would be open immediately after a deal is reached and that no single country would have control over the waterway.

May 27 - In venture capital, conviction often matters most when consensus is missing. In 2023, Yasmin Razavi led Spark Capital’s $450 million round into Anthropic at a $5 billion valuation, even as many traditional VCs stayed away from the company. At the time, Anthropic had no public product, no revenue and required massive capital to compete in Al.

That bet has become one of Spark’s most consequential investments. Anthropic is now valued at $380 billion, and Spark’s initial $75 million check plus follow-on investments are worth at least $3 billion.

Razavi, the only Anthropic investor with a board seat, debuts on the Forbes Midas List as its highest-ranked newcomer at No. 13.
