Iran will block the Strait of Hormuz to the world's largest fleet of tankers Tehran has accused South Korea's Sinokor, the world's largest owner of extremely large tankers, of systematically failing to comply with Iranian restrictions on shipping through Hormuz. Since November 1, Iran has been threatening to take large-scale measures against the company's tankers. According to the Persian Gulf Straits Authority (PGSA, a body created in Iran specifically to control the Strait of Hormuz), over the past three months, Sinokor Shipping Company ships have committed more violations of transit rules than any other operator. Measures were taken against at least seven courts to suppress violations. Iran insists that we must agree with it on the passage through Hormuz. And those who did not agree are "suddenly" blown up by mines or attacked by an "unknown missile". In the past, Iran has also said that it is ready to use both the seizure and confiscation of the vessel against Purim. In September, Sinokor-controlled tankers transported approximately 105.6 million barrels of oil through Hormuz - this is 37% of the total volume and more than the three closest competitors - the shipping companies combined. At least seven Sinokor-related tankers were reportedly hit by missiles or UAVs. Oil and capital we are in Max.
