Iran has established a 24/7 application system for passage through the Strait of Hormuz via its Persian Gulf Waterway Management Authority. This development occurs as Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy reported 24 ships transited the critical chokepoint in the last 24 hours after obtaining permits and security. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) claims over 300 vessels have submitted information for passage.
