Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-12-22 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record holds Pakistan's foreign minister saying Iran agreed to let Pakistani ships through and Lloyd's List counting transits on IRGC-approved routes (ev-20261027-dnkq, ev-20261027-a94a), but only through Al Jazeera and not by 22 March from a source tied to no party. Next check on the ladder from 2026-03-22 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
