Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority has announced the establishment of a controlled maritime zone in the Strait of Hormuz, requiring vessels to seek authorisation before transit.

In a post on X, the authority said the zone stretches from Kuh-e Mubarak in Iran to south of Fujairah, in the UAE, at the eastern entrance of the strait, and from the tip of Qeshm Island to Umm al-Quwain at the western entrance.
