Iran bars all foreign military vessels from Strait of Hormuz
Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to all military vessels until the US ends hostilities, and warns of economic retaliation against US sanctions.
Iran has announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to all military vessels until the United States ends its military actions, warning of economic retaliation against US sanctions. The country's foreign ministry has stated that no military vessels from any nation will be permitted to pass through the strait. A spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry explained that the recent understanding with Oman does not imply an immediate reopening of the strait, but rather an agreement on an entry route through Iranian waters, with the exit route passing through Omani territorial waters.
This arrangement is temporary, and Iran and Oman plan to negotiate a new permanent maritime corridor within 30 to 60 days to replace the existing navigation system.
