Iran Imposes Hormuz Transit Permits With 48-Hour Notice Requirement
🚢 HORMUZ — Iran just invented a permit system the MOU never mentioned. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The "60-day introductory period, no fees" language is a legal landmine — fees begin at Day 61, exactly when the MOU window closes. Vance sold Congress a toll-free strait; Iran is building the toll booth now, while each permit forces vessels to acknowledge Tehran's sovereign authority. Washington must object or silently accept a precedent that rewrites the deal.
