Event details
Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority published a list of dozens of vessels it said had violated its transit arrangements and could face future restrictions, including fines or seizure. AP also reported the U.S. blockade had redirected 70 commercial ships and disabled three as of Sunday.
Context
The published list turns Iran's claimed control into a forward enforcement threat that can shape routing and insurance decisions even before another vessel is stopped.
