Iran has defined the area of the Strait of Hormuz that will fall under its framework to manage the Strait of Hormuz.

The defined area spans from “the line connecting Kuh-i-Mubarak in Iran to the south of Fujairah in the UAE at the eastern entrance of the Strait, to the line connecting the tip of Qeshm Island in Iran to Umm Al-Quwain in the UAE at the western entrance”, according to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA).

“Transit through this area for the purpose of passing through the Hormuz strait requires coordination with, and authorisation from, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority,” it adds in a post on X.
