Iran eases Strait of Hormuz access: 'Non-hostile vessels' can pass Hormuz, US, Israel-linked ships blocked
Iran has announced that it will allow 'non-hostile vessels' to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, while blocking ships linked to the US and Israel. The move comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the US-Israel axis, which has disrupted shipping activity in the region.
Iran has indicated it will permit limited maritime movement through the Strait of Hormuz. Vessels deemed 'non-hostile' may be allowed to transit the waterway if they coordinate with Iranian authorities and comply with security protocols. The US and Israel-linked ships will not be granted passage. This development comes at a time of sustained conflict between Iran and the US-Israel axis. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows. Iran's latest position points to a partial and conditional reopening of the route.
