Iran's PGSA Forces Vessels to Turn Back in Strait of Hormuz
⚓ HORMUZ — Iran's new Strait Authority just proved it has real teeth. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: IRGC-N physically stopping westbound vessels marks the PGSA's first confirmed enforcement action — moving from declared authority to operational control. Vessels turned back without PGSA coordination means Iran now sets de facto rules of passage. Every cargo insurer, tanker operator, and energy importer must treat PGSA compliance as a hard constraint, regardless of what any deal says.
