Iran Enacts ‘Persian Gulf Strait Authority’ Toll — De Facto Control Over Strait of Hormuz

Iran has formally established the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” (PGSA), a new government agency tasked with regulating maritime traffic and collecting tolls from vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Announced on May 5, 2026, the authority requires ships to submit detailed information via email and obtain prior approval for safe passage, effectively asserting de facto control over one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints.
