  "account": "Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization (PGSA) has issued a stern warning to vessels that breach Iran's protocols for the Strait of Hormuz. The organization stated that such vessels may face restrictions on future passages, including fines, detention, or confiscation. PGSA also warned that vessels cooperating with those listed as non-compliant will be added to the list themselves. Cargo owners are advised to review the Non-Compliant Vessels (NCV) list before chartering vessels to prevent potential issues. Removal from the list requires a formal application and justification. Iran's National Security Commission spokesperson revealed that vessels from authorized countries transiting the Strait will now pay service fees to Tehran, covering various maritime, environmental, and logistical provisions. The payment structures are flexible, and fees can be paid in Rials or other currencies desired by Iran. Iran's Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council remains closed and will not reopen until the United States meets its commitments and changes its behavior. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump claimed control over the Strait, marking it as \"NEW US Territory.\"",
