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. Ships must coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which retains the authority to block vessels from countries Iran deems 'hostile'. The policy includes charging tolls for passage, effectively asserting control over the critical waterway despite the broader truce.

The report adds that ships must coordinate with the IRGC, which can still block vessels from 'hostile' countries, and that Iran will charge tolls for passage.
