@jolyonThe Persian Gulf State Authority has a message for charterers: route a vessel through a path that hasn't been cleared, and your name goes on a blacklist. Any ship connected to a blacklisted charterer then runs into restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. The authority also says shipowners need to keep their charterers away from illegal operations. "Shipowners must ensure that their charterers do not engage in illegal activities." That regulatory warning arrives next to a bigger claim. According to Geopolitics Watch on TG, written by Daniel and Jamie, Iran is reported to have fired four short-range ballistic missiles into the Strait of Hormuz, with explosions heard afterward near Qeshm Island. So far, no confirmation has come from Washington or from maritime agencies.
