1. Approvals for ships seeking to pass through the Strait of Hormuz are being handled by the IRGC

2. Tolls to pass through have hit $2 million, mainly for high-value vessels like oil and gas tankers

3. The increase in control signals Iran’s “growing grip” on the key trade route

4. Traffic remains limited, mostly involving Iranian or China-linked ships hugging Iran’s coast
