Iran Announces New Rules for Strait of Hormuz Transit
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy says a new order is now in effect in the Strait of Hormuz following the Lebanon ceasefire and the current battlefield pause
Civilian vessels may transit only through routes designated by Iran
All military ships remain banned from passing through the Strait
Any movement must be approved by the IRGC Navy and coordinated with Iranian authorities
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Tehran remains the “guardian of the Strait of Hormuz” and will show “no leniency” in defending Iran’s interests.
He also warned that if the other side violates its commitments or if the US naval blockade continues, Iran will take retaliatory measures, calling the blockade a breach of the ceasefire.
Earlier in the day, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the passage of commercial vessels through the Strait ofHormuzis fully open for the duration of the ceasefire. President Donald Trump said the US naval blockade of Iranian ports will remain in full force until a deal with Iran is finalized, adding that most of the points are already negotiated.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. On April 11, Iran and the United States held talks in Islamabad after Trump announced an agreement with Tehran on a two-week ceasefire. On April 12, Vice President JD Vance said the two countries failed to make a deal.
On Thursday, Trump said that another meeting between Washington and Tehran could take place as early as this weekend.
