Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) Navy has issued a new warning for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. IRGC has said that currently the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz can be done only with the permission of Iran and through the coordinated sea routes decided by it. This warning was sent to the ships present in the Persian Gulf through radio transmitters. After the warning, many ships waiting to cross Hormuz turned back.

IRGC rejects Oman’s maritime corridor
This warning of IRGC came at a time when Oman issued a navigation notice and created two temporary sea corridors to the north and south of the existing traffic separation scheme. The Iranian Navy has rejected these corridors and called them dangerous. IRGC said that all ships should use only the sea route designated by Iran. The Iranian Navy warned that ships violating the rules may have to pay a heavy price.
Know how many ships went
According to maritime intelligence company Kpler, on June 24, the number of ships passing through this important sea route increased by 105 percent to 70, which included 53 commercial ships. This increase was recorded after the intensification of operations to remove landmines and the use of the alternative sea route near Oman.
