“Any attempt by military vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will be stopped in the strictest manner. The naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have all the authority to reasonably manage the Strait of Hormuz,” the statement said.
They also added that passage through the strait will only be permitted for non-military, civilian ships, and only “under certain conditions.”
What preceded
Recall that US President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that Washington is beginning the process of demining the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, there was information in the media that several US Navy ships passed through the strait and then returned. Shortly thereafter, the US Central Command confirmed that two American destroyers passed through the Strait of Hormuz for demining purposes.
It is noteworthy that after the truce began, Iran opened the strait but almost immediately closed it again. Tehran cited the bombing of Lebanon by Israel as the reason for this decision. However, media reports yesterday indicated that Iran simply cannot locate its own mines and neutralize them.
