The announcement comes as the US aggressively enforces a naval blockade on Iranian ports along the critical Strait of Hormuz. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Bessent claimed that the pressure is already working, noting that “the Iranian economy and currency are in free fall.” He made it clear that the economic chokehold will not ease up until Tehran returns to the negotiating table, stating, “Only a satisfactory outcome in negotiations will end the downward spiral,” News.Az reports, citing The Jerusalem Post.
The @USTreasury continues our Economic Fury campaign against the Iranian regime.
Their troops are not getting paid, the police are not reporting for work, and Kharg Island is shut down. The Iranian economy and currency are in free fall.
Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority…
— Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent) May 28, 2026
The Treasury Secretary also targeted Iran’s newly established Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PSGA)—which was set up to manage vessel movements through the strait—calling the agency a “joke” and highlighting new counterterrorism sanctions against it. Bessent issued a stern warning to global corporations and foreign governments, cautioning them against paying any shipping tolls to Iran or attempting to hide those payments as humanitarian aid.

The regional tension extends beyond Iran. Bessent explicitly warned neighboring Oman against facilitating or participating in any tolling systems in the Strait of Hormuz, promising that the US will “aggressively target” any involved entities. The warning follows a highly volatile cabinet meeting where President Donald Trump threatened severe military action against Oman if they interfere with shipping lanes in the strait.

The event, scheduled from June 25 to July 10, is organized by Freedom 250, a nonprofit tasked with planning the historic milestone. However, shortly after Wednesday’s initial lineup announcement, funk icon Morris Day of Morris Day and The Time took to Facebook to shut down his advertised appearance, writing, “It’s A No For Me,” News.Az reports, citing CBS News.
Hip-hop artist Young MC also withdrew immediately, expressing frustration over how the event was marketed to musicians. “The artists were never told about any political involvement,” he posted, pointing to media reports labeling the festival as “Trump-backed.” He added that he hopes to perform in D.C. soon at an event “that is not so politically charged.”

Despite the backlash, Nineties icon Vanilla Ice still plans to take the stage on June 26, with his management stating he is “proud to help celebrate America‘s 250th Anniversary.” Strangely, the event’s initial promotions also listed pop duo Milli Vanilli, despite the fact that co-founder Rob Pilatus passed away in 1998 (surviving member Fab Morvan still performs).
While Freedom 250 insists the 16-day exposition is strictly nonpartisan and meant to unite the country, the political undertones have clearly divided the talent pool. Other major names still attached to the festival include Martina McBride, Flo Rida, Bret Michaels, and The Commodores.

Under California’s unique “top-two” system, all candidates run on a single ballot regardless of party, with only the top two moving on to November. With six major Democrats fracturing the vote, party leaders initially panicked that the two leading Republicans—Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and conservative commentator Steve Hilton—could sweep both spots and completely lock Democrats out of the general election, News.Az reports, citing NBC.
That nightmare scenario eased up after former Representative Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race amid a sexual assault scandal, but the controversy has only added to voter anxiety. Meanwhile, a recent endorsement from Donald Trump has successfully united Republican support behind Hilton.

As a result, reliable Democratic voters are holding onto their mail-in ballots until the absolute last minute, waiting to see if a viable front-runner emerges from the pack. Data shows that only 11% of the state’s 23 million voters have cast ballots, with Republicans uncharacteristically out-voting Democrats early on.
Right now, the Democratic field is a neck-and-neck scramble. Former state Attorney General Xavier Becerra and billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer are leading the Democratic options, but polling shows them neck-and-neck with Republican Hilton—leaving many voters admitting they are simply “pinching their noses” and settling for the lesser of evils.
