Shafaq News- Tehran

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday closured of the
Strait of Hormuz until further notice after intercepting a vessel it accused of
violating its navigation directives.

In a statement, the IRGC claimed several vessels had attempted to transit
the strategic waterway through what it described as “unapproved routes
despite repeated warnings.” It said one vessel was intercepted after allegedly
switching off its tracking system.

The IRGC blamed what it described as “illegal foreign
intervention” for the incident and declared that no vessel would be
allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz until “US interventions”
in the region end.

The force also warned that any new military action against Iran in
connection with the incident would trigger a “severe” response,
threatening to target additional US and allied military bases across the
region.
