The Persian Gulf Strait Management Authority (PGSA) has issued a statement defending its activities, claiming that more than 200 foreign vessels coordinated transit through the Strait of Hormuz over the three weeks since a memorandum of understanding was signed. The authority, established by Iran in response to the IRGC's closure of the waterway, says most of these vessels received transit permits and insurance. The statement, reported by analyst Yair Goldblatt, appears to be an effort to justify the PGSA's operations amid ongoing international scrutiny. The Zioneer has previously reported on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the creation of the PGSA as part of Iran's administrative blockade. The claim could not be independently verified, and the number of vessels contrasts with earlier reports of significantly reduced traffic.
