Iran announced: "Only Chinese and Russian ships are allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz"

Iran has actually granted exclusive passage rights through the Strait of Hormuz to Russia and China. This move will significantly change the global power dynamics. On March 5, Iran announced a ban on American, Israeli, and European ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This statement essentially means allowing Chinese and Russian ships to pass through the strait.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on March 5: "During wartime, Iran has the right to control passage and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and to prohibit ships from the United States, Israel, and European countries from passing through."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps emphasized: "It is prohibited for military and commercial vessels belonging to the United States, Israel, European countries, and their supporters to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran will be forced to strike any such vessels found in the Strait of Hormuz."

In other words, this amounts to declaring: "Ships from friendly countries of Iran, such as China and Russia, can freely pass through the Strait of Hormuz."
