Iran introduces new mechanism for ship transits in Strait of Hormuz

Iran has introduced a new mechanism for ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating tensions with the United States over the strategic waterway. Ships will receive an email from the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) outlining transit regulations and must comply before receiving a permit. This move reflects Iran's tightening control over maritime traffic in the strait, a key global energy route.
