IRGC Forces Vessel to Turn Back at Hormuz Entrance Under Threat

🚢 HORMUZ — Iran's blockade just got a UKMTO-stamped paper trail. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: UKMTO reporting means this intercept is now NATO-visible and legally documented — not just a shadow-fleet rumor. IRGC enforcing a turn-back north of Khasab moves the blockade from ambiguous to explicit coercion. For insurers, P&I clubs, and flag states, a formal maritime authority record triggers exclusion clauses. Ships won't need to be struck to stop — the threat, now official, is enough.
