From understandingwar.org:

"Iran continues to coerce vessels to comply with its new rules for transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistani Foreign Affairs Minister Ishaq Dar stated on March 28 that Iran agreed to allow 20 additional Pakistani ships to pass through the strait.[54] He stated that two ships will transit the strait each day. Iran has allowed some Pakistani oil tankers and other vessels to pass safely through an Iranian-approved route around Larak Island.[55] Iran has required some vessels to pay a transit fee.[56] An OSINT analyst assessed on March 28 that IRGC Navy fast attack craft are patrolling the area between Larak Island and Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf and are likely serving as “toll collectors.”"
