Iranian military issues passage warning
The spokesperson for the Iranian Army, Mohammad Akramnia, warned against commercial ships crossing the southern route through the Strait of Hormuz, considering that U.S. forces are prompting ships to use this passage, which exposes them to the risk of significant damage. He called on shipping companies to adhere to the routes designated by Tehran, warning that using the southern passage is not permitted and poses a threat to the safety of the ships and their cargoes. These remarks come amid escalating tensions in the region, with Iran increasing restrictions on vessel movements and exchanges of accusations between Washington and Tehran regarding maritime security and the targeting of oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for a large portion of global oil supplies.
