Iran Warns Against Unauthorised Crossings of Strait of Hormuz in Response to Oman's Temporary Corridor
Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued a warning against unauthorised crossings of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that ships navigating outside established routes do not guarantee safety. The warning appears to be a direct response to Oman's announcement of a temporary corridor through the strait. The statement places responsibility for any consequences on ship owners, captains, and operators.
