Iran warns ships it's 'unacceptable and dangerous' to transit the Strait of Hormuz without their approval

Iran’s IRGC warns that any new Hormuz shipping route announced without Tehran’s coordination is unacceptable and dangerous.

All vessels must contact IRGC Navy on the designated channel before transiting, or face enforcement action, Iran says.

Shipping traffic has remained far below prewar levels despite the U.S.-Iran interim agreement.
