Iranian media: rules for crossing the Strait of Hormuz have been formulated


Iranian authorities have formulated rules for crossing the Strait of Hormuz. There is now clarity regarding whether ships are allowed to transit.



This was reported by Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, citing a high-ranking military official.

It is known that military ships of any flag are still prohibited from transiting the strait. Only civilian vessels are now permitted to do so. They may navigate through Hormuz only along routes designated for them by the relevant Iranian authorities.

Iranian media outlets specifically note that each commercial vessel must obtain separate permission from the IRGC Navy to gain free passage.

The journalists' interlocutor stated:

Only non-military vessels may navigate through the Strait of Hormuz, following specific routes and with permission from the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy.

Shortly before this, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran welcomed the Lebanese-Israeli ceasefire. He stated that as long as it remains in effect, Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz to all civilian vessels. President Donald Trump expressed his gratitude for this decision, even stating that the Strait of Hormuz now deserves the name "Iran's Strait."

Last week, Iranian authorities warned of a strict ban on the passage of any military ships along this route.

    At one time, during the First World War, the Black Sea Fleet under the command of Kolchak mined the entrance to the Black Sea and made it an "internal sea" of the Russian Empire.

        Dear Carlos
        (Popov Ruslan)!

        What does the movie "Admiral" have to do with this?

        Here is what Kolchak himself wrote: “This operation directly above the Bosphorus fortifications was carried out by our mine ships directly under my command. I went out on a ship at this time myself, and we blocked the Bosphorus so reliably that, in the end, having established the necessary control from the constant duty and observation of a destroyer to ensure that these mines were not destroyed and swept away, and in order to, if necessary, reinforce these barriers again, we, in the end, completely secured our sea from the appearance of enemy ships. (…) All transport on the Black Sea was carried out as in peacetime. Minefields, patrol service, properly organized and properly developed, radio communications made it possible for us to ensure the Black Sea basin is completely calm from any attacks on the part of the enemy and to ensure completely safe transport for the Caucasian army.”

          Then why did "Goeben" spend the entire war wandering around the Black Sea as if it were at home, calmly going to the Bosphorus when necessary???

      and made it an "internal sea" of the Russian Empire.

      Do Goeben and Breslau know about this?

    It's a pity, the Iranians could have kept the Strait of Hormuz closed for another month or two.
    The corrupt EU's economy is in deep decline. Another month or two, and the EU will face catastrophic problems.
    Now the war-prone EU has once again turned its attention to corrupt Ukraine.

      I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. But the IRGC doesn't coordinate with us in any way. They have their own interests. We have ours. He's simply "one of us," reluctantly. (c) Brother 2 "Fascist." "I have zircon, sorry, I haven't checked." (c) wassat

        There's no need to worry. After all, passage is free "for now, as long as there's a truce."
        Knowing Israel, there is no doubt that they will break the ceasefire.
        Perhaps even quite "justified," since Lebanon is full of people who lost their entire families to Jewish bombs. And he doesn't care about the ceasefire. If he manages to get a weapon, he'll go kill Jews.
        But most likely, no provocation will be necessary. Israel is too accustomed to killing whenever it wants.
        So Iran will just wait. For a little while.

          Ha, and there was no need for bombing from Israel.
          The US "forgot" to lift its blockade.
          So Iran is restoring its customs.

      Oh, you read it - this strait is like the doors of a tram - open and close every 5 minutes. Iran said that if the US doesn't lift the blockade, they won't open the strait either - and then Trump shouted to the whole world: "We will continue the blockade of Iran."

    Iranian media specifically notes that for free passage, every commercial vessel must obtain separate permission from the IRGC Naval Forces.
    For a pretty penny! But otherwise, the entrance is completely free!

    Finally, make it public. I, Maximus Trump, command that the strait be called Iranian, and for passage through the strait, money will be paid to me, the Sun-faced one, and to the IRGC. The Arabs in the Persian Gulf are sad. bully Trump needs complete control over oil pricing. According to Trump's plan, Iran's Hormuz should work for the US. For now, these are my assumptions.

    Hormuz deserves the name "Strait of Iran"

    And just recently, Trump regretted that it wasn't called "Trump Strait." It's a storm for the old man.
    Regarding the passage of civilian vessels through the strait, with the consent of Iran, "exclusively along the routes prescribed for them by the relevant Iranian agencies," this is where the link is weak. If the fairways are "leaked" to a third party (which is quite simple), then the US will soon have maps of the suspected minefields in Hormuz, and this is already certain tactical data in any case.

    Our Gulf, our rules!! These are the real conditions of Iran. WELL DONE!!!
    And we in Russia are still mumbling and declaring red lines and being concerned... We are already being attacked from the Baltics and from Finland... I won't even mention Poland, England is actually carrying out sabotage all over Russia...
    I don't want to offend any of my partners, and I need to deliver gas to them on time. Damn it. And the Russian economy is as fidgety as a whore. They've started moving, but it might be too late.

    We should mine the entire Baltic Sea to prevent all sorts of crap from floating there.

      Dear Schneeberg
      (Oleg)!

      "The widespread use of minefields," Kolchak wrote in 1906, "is always associated with a refusal to maneuver one's own forces in the area where they are laid, and therefore the use of minefields as a means of preparing positions for battle must be limited and carried out according to a strictly thought-out plan." Kolchak's work was noticed by the future commander of the Baltic Sea naval forces, Admiral Nikolai Ottovich von Essen, and Tsar Nicholas II. Von Essen was involved in creating a minefield division in the Baltic, which Captain First Rank Kolchak would command during World War I. According to a premeditated plan, minefields were laid at the entrances to the Gulfs of Riga and Finland. Taking into account the superior naval strength of enemy Germany, minefields were laid along the routes of a possible German invasion fleet. These minefields played a crucial role in the Baltic naval war of 1914-1918. The German High Seas Fleet's attempt to enter the Gulf of Riga resulted in the loss of several cruisers, but the Germans didn't even consider the Gulf of Finland, knowing how skillfully the minefields had been laid at the entrance...

    It's a good thing Trump didn't suggest Iran name the strait after Khomeini. Fredovich is completely nuts.

    Tankers belonging to unfriendly countries should be sunk without a second thought. It's not like opening and closing a strait. Few have the money to build tankers. And that would be far more damaging than demolishing the oil refineries in those parts. If there's nowhere to ship them, or rather, nothing to ship them to, the oil refineries will be shut down anyway, and then the drilling rigs will be shut down. Then they'll start whining about who lets them blow up the pipes. It's not like demolishing houses with civilians. The ship's crew is far smaller. And it's easier for them to escape. And the fuel will burn up if everything is done properly. For the sheep, fuel and chemicals should be worth more than gold.

    White House President Donald Trump expressed his gratitude for this decision, even stating that Hormuz now deserves the name "Strait of Iran."
    This is what they brought a man to in the IRI; he really wanted to name this strait after himself.
