WSJ: Iran to limit Hormuz ships during ceasefire

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Iran has communicated to mediators that it will maintain restrictions on maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz during the ongoing ceasefire period. The policy involves limiting the number of vessels allowed to transit the strategic waterway and imposing tolls on those that do. This stance represents a continuation of Iran's 'New Order' maritime regime, which has been in effect since the start of the conflict. The report suggests Iran is using the ceasefire to solidify its control and revenue mechanisms over the critical shipping lane.
