BlockBeats News, March 25 — According to informed sources, Iran is strengthening control over the Strait of Hormuz through a semi-official mechanism, requiring transit ships to submit crew and cargo lists, and charging fees for some high-value vessels.
Sources say that related approvals must be obtained from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran, and fees are often communicated through intermediaries, mainly targeting oil tankers and liquefied gas carriers. Currently, navigation through the channel is restricted, with a significant decrease in the number of ships passing through, mostly related to Iran or its friendly countries.
Although Iran’s official statement claims the channel is “still open,” actual traffic has not returned to normal. As a result, energy supplies in many Asian countries are under pressure, with India and others experiencing liquefied petroleum gas shortages.
Analysis indicates that as regional conflicts escalate, the uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy route, is increasing.
