President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. All vessels transiting the area must comply with regulations regarding safety, environmental protection, shipping management, and permit issuance. Fees must be paid for transit, with priority given to specific administrative protocols. Central Command stated the military will continue a full blockade of ships entering or exiting Iranian ports. Since the blockade began, 37 vessels have been forced to reroute. The proposal has been submitted to the Iranian Islamic Parliament's National Security Committee for review. Reports suggest Iran could potentially damage underwater cables in the Strait of Hormuz. A vessel captain near the strait reported observing multiple attacks and shelling in recent days.
