Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority announced on November 11 that strict legal enforcement action has been taken against vessels attempting unauthorized transit through the strait using forged documentation. IRNA reported the announcement, which gave no count of vessels affected or details of the penalties. The move reflects Iran's continued control over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. No other outlet has independently confirmed the enforcement actions.
