Iran has issued a warning that vessels violating its arrangements for transiting the Strait of Hormuz could face restrictions including fines, detention or confiscation, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority wrote in a post on X.
The PGSA, a new body Iran has established with the aim of managing the strait, has said cargo owners should refer to an updated list of vessels deemed non-compliant for voyages relating to the Persian Gulf. (Reporting by Nidhi Verma; Editing by Hugh Lawson)
