Iran warns ships must coordinate passage through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said transit through the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with Iran is dangerous and unacceptable. In a statement, they said vessels sailing outside the routes set by Tehran are both risky and prohibited.
The Guards said that coordination through Channel 16 is mandatory for passage through the strait, and warned that enforcement measures will be taken against anyone who ignores the instruction. The warning underscored Iran’s claim that movement in the strategic waterway must be conducted on terms it sets.
The statement did not mention any specific incident or date, but it made clear that Iran views uncoordinated navigation in the strait as a violation that could draw a response.
