Revolutionary Guards Ban Uncoordinated Ships in Hormuz
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to ships attempting to pass without prior coordination with Iran, rejecting American statements claiming the strait is open. They clarified that Iran's decisive control over the waterway continues, and restrictions on ship movements will persist until American hostilities cease and Washington fulfills its commitments, including lifting sanctions and releasing frozen assets. This escalation reflects a dispute over control of the strait, which is one of the most vital shipping routes for global oil trade. As a result, vessel traffic has significantly decreased due to heightened security risks, Iranian restrictions, and the U.S. military presence in the region.
