Iran Blocks Hormuz, Vessels at Risk
On Saturday dawn, a massive oil tanker collided with a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to an explosion and the closure of the strait. Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces announced that the Strait of Hormuz is currently closed and that any ships violating Iran's laws and turning off their identification systems will face the risk of being burned. Iran has imposed strict measures on navigation in the corridor, amid escalating tensions, insisting that crossing the southern route is not permitted and poses a danger. Meanwhile, the United States affirms that the strait is an open international waterway and is protecting energy flows there. The region has previously experienced tensions and explosions targeting vessels in the southern passage, resulting from sea mines and clashes.
