Tehran, March 24 (Xinhua) — Any vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz must fully coordinate its actions with Iranian maritime authorities, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Naval Commander Alireza Tangsiri said on Tuesday.
As A. Tangsiri wrote on the social network X, the IRGC Navy blocked the passage of the foreign container ship SELEN after it failed to complete the necessary procedures and was not granted permission to pass.
Tensions in the region escalated following joint US-Israeli strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities that began on February 28. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israeli and US targets throughout the Middle East.
Iran subsequently tightened its control over the Strait of Hormuz, restricting the passage of ships linked to the United States and Israel. –0–
