Iran has established a new government agency intended to control and tax vessels seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing a shipping data company Lloyd's List Intelligence. The new agency, called the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, is said to be Iran's "only valid authority to grant permission to ships transiting the strait."
The news comes as Pakistani mediators await the Iranian response to the US peace deal proposal, amid US President Donald Trump's threats that Washington will bomb Iran if it does not accept the deal. Meanwhile, Saudi media outlets reported earlier today that a "breakthrough" is expected today to restart the transit of the ships that have been stuck in the Persian Gulf.
