Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that it is banning all maritime transport "to and from the ports of allies and supporters of the Israeli-American enemies," through any maritime corridor or to any destination.
In a statement published by the Iranian Fars news agency, the IRGC also emphasizes that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and warns that any ship attempting to pass through this waterway will face "harsh measures."
According to the same statement, today three container ships of different nationalities were blocked from entering the strait after receiving warnings from the Revolutionary Guard naval forces.
