Passage through the Strait of Hormuz has become "unfeasible" following recent military actions by US forces, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority said on Monday, announcing a temporary halt to the processing of transit permits for vessels using the strategic waterway.
In a statement posted on its official X account, the authority said applications for passage would not be processed until the security situation stabilises.
"Due to recent hostile actions by the US forces, passage through the Strait of Hormuz is currently unfeasible. As soon as stability and calm are restored, all applications will be reviewed in accordance with the scheduled timeline, and the permitting process will resume," the authority said.
