Iran Guard Plans to Close Unlawful Routes in Hormuz
Iran has confirmed that it will soon close several illegal routes in the Strait of Hormuz by blowing up and destroying some of the rocky passages there, in order to gain full control of the strait and prevent oil smuggling through these channels. The advisor to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, stated that Iran will address small-scale oil smuggling operations carried out via small boats, and that the pathways established through the blasting of rocky passages will be closed. He also indicated that Iran will enhance the range of its weapons if authorized to do so, emphasizing that controlling the strait is a strategic objective—especially as global oil flows decrease and the ongoing war since February 2026 between the United States and Iran has impacted maritime traffic and energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
