Per Woofun AI, the Iran Straits of Hormuz Authority disclosed on June 19 that vessels must submit transit applications at least 48 hours prior to entering the Strait of Hormuz region. This regulatory adjustment follows the signing of the Iran-US memorandum of understanding, establishing stricter procedural requirements for maritime passage. The authority confirmed that compliant vessels meeting all specified criteria will be granted transit within the designated timeframe, reinforcing structured oversight of this critical global shipping chokepoint.
