Iranian Guard warns ships against navigation disabling
Iran has heightened its warnings to ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to treat them as hostile vessels if navigation systems are disrupted or Iranian rules are ignored. This comes after the explosion of a massive oil tanker that struck a naval mine during its passage, following a halt in navigation systems prior to entering a route considered highly dangerous by Iran. The escalation occurs at a time when the strait is becoming increasingly vital for global oil transportation, with any disturbance potentially impacting energy supplies and prices. Iran has not independently confirmed the details of the incident, but its version states that the explosion caused a major fire on board the tanker.
