Iranian Revolutionary Guard seeks Strait of Hormuz access via Channel 16
Iran has confirmed that coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy via Channel 16 is essential for crossing the Strait of Hormuz, noting that safe passage should only be conducted according to the routes announced by Iran. It explained that Channel 16 is a maritime radio channel used for sending emergency and safety distress calls, and is not a waterway within the strait. Any other form of coordination is considered a violation and subject to punishment. This statement comes after the announcement of an international maritime plan to organize the passage of ships stuck in the strait, which includes two temporary routes. The importance of the strait in the global energy market has been reinforced, as approximately 20 million barrels of oil pass through it daily.
