Iran Adds More Ships to Strait Ban
Iran has expanded its list of banned ships in the Strait of Hormuz, adding 11 new vessels to the list, bringing the total number of prohibited ships to 56. This step is part of its efforts to strengthen control over the strategic waterway. Tehran accuses some ships of violating navigation rules, warning that fines or confiscation could be imposed if they attempt to pass through. The list includes oil and liquefied natural gas tankers, and ships that cooperate with or support these vessels are also classified as blacklisted, threatening maritime traffic in one of the world's most critical shipping routes and increasing pressure on international energy trade. These measures come amid a sharp decline in maritime activity through the strait and rising tensions between Iran and global shipping sectors.
