      <title>Iran imposes transit rules for ships in Strait of Hormuz</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330458361/iran-imposes-transit-rules-for-ships-in-strait-of-hormuz</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iran has officially launched a new mechanism to govern shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, state-affiliated Press TV said in a report.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the system, vessels planning to transit the waterway will receive instructions via email from the official address &lt;a href="mailto:info@PGSA.ir"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;info@PGSA.ir&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, detailing rules and regulations for passage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ships are required to follow the framework and obtain a transit permit before crossing the Strait, a critical chokepoint through which roughly 20% of global oil supplies pass.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/PressTV/status/2051713063145832673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2051713063145832673%7Ctwgr%5E22a776c7f2b3644ed5c33e30cede4093afdcc742%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.presstv.ir%2FDetail%2F2026%2F05%2F05%2F768102%2FExclsuive--Iran-implements-new-maritime-mechanism-for-vessels-transiting-Strait-of-Hormuz"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initiative, described by Tehran as a sovereign governance system, comes amid heightened tensions in the region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iranian forces have maintained strict control over the Strait, blocking ships linked to the United States and Israel following the launch of strikes against the country on February 28.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tehran had previously signalled willingness to reopen the Strait after the US and Israel agreed to a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire, which also involved Lebanon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, Iranian authorities declared the waterway closed again, citing ongoing violations of the truce by Washington and Tel Aviv.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A draft law currently advancing in Iran’s parliament would impose a total ban on Israeli-affiliated vessels, while ships linked to the US and other “hostile” countries would face severe restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The legislation also proposes a toll system for non-hostile vessels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tensions escalated further after the US launched an operation on Sunday aimed at challenging Iran’s control of the Strait.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iranian naval forces responded Monday by firing missiles and drones near US destroyers that allegedly ignored repeated warnings to stay clear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iranian officials have vowed to maintain sovereignty over the Strait, warning that any attempts to undermine their control will be met with force.&lt;/p&gt;
