Iran's IRGC Navy Issues Warnings to Ships in Omani Waters
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has issued warnings to ships anchored in the Omani port of Khasab, instructing them to return to Dubai anchorage. This action is seen as a breach of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The IRGC's warnings have been transmitted on Channel 16, a maritime communication channel. Omani authorities typically attempt to jam such transmissions, but the warnings have reportedly reached the ships. The situation has led to increased tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime passage.
