Revolutionary Guards Slow Strait Deal
Ultimately, tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated over control of the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran seeks to regulate navigation through the vital passage and imposes fees on ships, while American sanctions and insurance requirements hinder the implementation of proposed agreements.

Controlling the strait remains one of the biggest hurdles to ending the current tensions, as Iran continues to impose restrictions on vessel movements and plans to introduce legislation to prevent passage by American and Israeli ships.
