- Charging for Hormuz
Iran is implementing a 'smart management' system for the Strait of Hormuz, requiring vessels to obtain transit authorization, submit cargo details, and pay fees. The move references the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to justify temporary suspensions of innocent passage for security reasons, though Iran has not ratified UNCLOS.
