Iran Warns Ships to Navigate Through Its Waters Amid Hormuz Standstill
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning for ships to navigate through its territorial waters when crossing the Strait of Hormuz. This directive comes as traffic through the strait remains significantly below normal levels, with only a fraction of the usual number of ships passing through. The situation is complicated by a US-Iran two-week ceasefire, which has left shipping firms, including Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, uncertain about the implications for their operations. The IRGC's guidance aims to mitigate risks associated with naval mines and ensure safe passage.
