The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has issued a stern warning to maritime operators regarding the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that any passage through the strait without Iranian permission will be deemed unacceptable and dangerous. The IRGC announced that vessels violating this directive would face "appropriate measures." They categorically stated that any new shipping routes established without consultation with Iran would not be tolerated.

This assertion comes in the context of heightened tensions surrounding the strategically important strait, a crucial maritime route for global trade. The IRGC's statements also suggested that Iran is considering the implementation of fees for vessels attempting to transit the strait—an approach that was not enforced before the onset of the recent conflict that began on February 28. Additionally, Iran has accused NATO of complicity in matters concerning its maritime operations. The situation underscores the ongoing complexities in U.S.-Iran relations and the implications for international shipping in this vital waterway.
