Photo · english.makalukhabar.com

Iran has established a new management and monitoring area, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), to tighten control over the Strait of Hormuz. Ships crossing the strait will now require coordination and permission from PGSA, with the new supervision area extending from Kuh-e Mobarak to Fujairah. This move aims to manage the security, operation, and monitoring of the waterway.

  • The new supervision area for the Strait of Hormuz extends from Kuh-e Mobarak in Iran to the southern maritime area of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
  • Ships must coordinate with 'Persian Gulf Waterway Management' and obtain prior permission from PGSA to enter the designated area.
  • The establishment of PGSA comes amid stalled peace talks between the United States and Iran, with both nations holding firm on their positions regarding Iran's nuclear program and energy security.
  • The Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic has re-publicized the activation of PGSA's official X account, confirming the new body is operational.
