Iranian report says Revolutionary Guards will not permit passage through the Strait of Hormuz

By ליאור בן ארי
Translated & summarized from Ynet by baba
The story · English

An Iranian military source told the Fars news agency that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval forces will not issue permits for ships to pass through it until further notice.

The brief report did not give any additional details about when the restriction began, how long it may last, or whether it applies to all vessels. It also did not say what prompted the closure.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important shipping routes, used for oil and commercial traffic. The statement indicates that maritime movement there is being restricted by the Revolutionary Guards, but no further official explanation was provided.
