Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority said vessels that violate 'Iranian protocols for the Strait of Hormuz shall face restrictions on future passages, including fines, detention, or confiscation,' and urged cargo owners to check its 'Non-Compliant Vessels' list before chartering ships.
Why it matters
The list turns Iran's claimed control into a standing threat to named ships, which can shape charter and insurance decisions before any vessel is stopped.
