Tehran: Iran on Monday announced the launch of a new regulatory body aimed at managing and monitoring operations related to the strategically important waterway, the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
The top security establishment of the Islamic Republic, the Supreme National Security Council, reposted a post on X where it stated that the official X account of the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” (PGSA) is now operational.<\/p>\n
The PGSA introduced at the start of this month has been characterised as a new mechanism for governing maritime traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
“In the Name of God. The official X account of the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (#PGSA) is now live. Follow us for real-time updates on the Hormuz Strait operations and latest developments,” the statement posted by the official account of the Persian Gulf Strait Authority said.<\/p>\n
The announcement signals the formal establishment of a dedicated body overseeing developments and operations linked to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes for global oil and energy shipments.
Earlier this month, Iranian state media Press TV reported that Tehran had introduced a new mechanism for governing maritime traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
As per the report, all vessels intending to transit the Strait will now receive official communication via email from an address identified as info@PGSA.ir, outlining rules and regulations for passage under the newly implemented framework.
Ships are required to comply with the instructions issued under the system and obtain a transit permit before entering the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital oil shipping routes, which has seen a major disruption following the conflict between US-Israeli coalition forces and Iran in the West Asia region.<\/p>\n
The initiative has been described as a sovereign governance mechanism and is now operational, Press TV reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tehran: Iran on Monday announced the launch of a new regulatory body aimed at managing and monitoring operations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[26],"tags":[158,26352,26361,26360,238,3295,26355,26358,26353,181,22327,2805,26356,26359,26354,39,26357,82],"class_list":["post-119335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-persian-gulf","tag-breaking-news","tag-evening-times-of-oman","tag-expats","tag-expats-in-oman","tag-latest-news","tag-muscat","tag-muscat-daily","tag-news-in-oman","tag-news-oman","tag-oman","tag-oman-news","tag-oman-news-agency","tag-oman-observer","tag-oman-time-now","tag-ona","tag-persian-gulf","tag-times-of-oman-newspaper","tag-world-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116595696849531979","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119335\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
