Iran warns of restrictions on ships using unauthorised Hormuz routes

Iran’s Strait of Hormuz Administration has announced that vessels navigating the waterway via unauthorized routes will face serious restrictions. The warning was issued on Saturday, citing the need for adherence to established transit protocols within the critical maritime chokepoint.

The announcement follows recent public remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the region. The directive signals an increase in Iranian oversight of maritime traffic, though the specific nature of the threatened restrictions remains limited to the official statement.
