Iran's Persian Gulf Strait management authority, known as PGSA, has issued a warning to vessels using what it described as invalid routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
The authority said charterers that force ships off officially approved paths through the strait will be added to a list of non-compliant operators, signaling a tightening of oversight over maritime traffic in the waterway.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important shipping routes, serving as a key corridor for global oil and gas exports, which has made navigation and security in the strait a matter of continuing international attention.
The warning from Iranian authorities reflects ongoing efforts to assert control over shipping conduct in waters it considers under its jurisdiction, amid broader regional tensions affecting maritime security in the Gulf.
No specific vessels or charterers were named in connection with the warning, which was framed as a general notice to shipping operators using the strait.
