Media: Vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz need to coordinate routes with Iran's navy
According to Iran's Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the Iranian Ports Authority has called on all vessels to coordinate their navigation routes through the Strait of Hormuz with Iran's navy to avoid mines.
Fars News Agency previously reported that Iran had suspended oil tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz following Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.
IRIB stated in a message posted on the social platform X: "Given the military situation in the Persian Gulf and the potential presence of anti-ship mines in the main shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz, all vessels should coordinate with the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and use designated routes."
U.S. President Trump announced at 4 a.m. on April 8 that the U.S. and Iran had reached a two-week ceasefire agreement. Subsequently, Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghezi said that navigation through the Strait of Hormuz had resumed. Approximately 20% of the world's oil, petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas are transported via this strait.
