Iran restricts military ship passage through Strait of Hormuz, says IRGC Navy

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said military vessels are currently prohibited from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, adding that all maritime traffic is now subject to prior approval and designated routes set by Iranian authorities.

The force said only non-military ships are allowed passage under what it described as regulated corridors.

The IRGC Navy said the measures are part of arrangements linked to a ceasefire framework, including developments tied to the implementation of a truce in Lebanon.

It warned that any violation of the navigation rules would be met with a response.
