Iran has blacklisted 77 ships for allegedly violating the country's protocols for the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority. These vessels could face penalties such as fines, detention, or confiscation if they attempt to cross the waterway again. The authority also warned that commercial ships cooperating with the US and its allies may also be listed.
