Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority issued a statement on the 23rd saying that ships that violate Iran's regulations on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz will face restrictions such as fines, seizure, or confiscation. The statement said that cargo owners traveling to and from the Persian Gulf must check the list of “illegal vessels” issued by the Persian Gulf Strait Authority before chartering a ship to avoid potential problems. The statement said that from now on, any vessel that cooperates with “illegal vessels” will also be included in this list. If a vessel is to be removed from the list, a formal application must be submitted to the Persian Gulf Straits Authority with reasons.
