The Persian Gulf Waterway Management Authority has announced that it is negotiating with ships to remove them from Iran's blacklist and prevent their entry into this list. These negotiations follow the increased penalties for violating ships by the Revolutionary Guard Navy in the Strait of Hormuz.
Increased penalties for ships in the Strait of Hormuz
The Revolutionary Guard Navy has recently intensified penalties for violating ships in the Strait of Hormuz, releasing daily images and videos of exploded, sunk, and burned ships. This authority has explicitly stated that "the fate of violating ships that defy Iranian regulations in the Strait of Hormuz is to burn in the fire of the trust of the American terrorist army." These actions demonstrate Iran's determination to maintain the security of its waterways and combat illegal activities in this region.
