'Vessels violating Iranian protocols for Strait of Hormuz' shall face fines, detention, confiscation: Iran

Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization warned vessels of future passage restrictions and potential confiscation. Authorized countries transiting the Strait of Hormuz will now pay service fees to Tehran. These fees cover maritime, environmental, and logistical provisions for passing ships. Iran stated the Strait of Hormuz remains closed until US behavior changes. US President Donald Trump reiterated claims of US control over the waterway.
