No Entry for U.S. Ships: Iran Takes Control of Strait of Hormuz, Imposes Tolls After 47 Years

Описание: Iran has announced a major shift in the rules governing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil supply. According to Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi, the strait will now be open only to ships that comply with Iran’s new maritime laws — explicitly barring U.S. and Israeli vessels.

The move ends 47 years of free passage for foreign ships and introduces a toll system in Iranian rial, strengthened security protocols, and environmental protection measures. Iran also claims full sovereign control over its side of the strait, while working with Oman to formalize a joint legal framework.

This comes amid tensions over sanctions, navigation rights, and threats from former U.S. President Donald Trump to target Iranian energy infrastructure. The changes mark a major strategic shift in the Gulf region, with global oil shipping routes directly affected.

Stay tuned for more updates on Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and international maritime developments.
