Iran Announces Its Own Blockade in the Strait of Hormuz  Less Than a Day After Declaring Waterway Back Open
"Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy and any offending vessel will be targeted. The closure will continue until the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports is lifted."
"In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire."
"Iran has told mediators it will continue to limit the number of ships allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls for the remaining period of the cease-fire."
Iran's military has declared a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, stating that any approaching vessels will be targeted. This announcement follows a brief period where the strait was declared open for tanker traffic. Reports indicate that two ships have already faced attacks while attempting to navigate the strait. Iran's blockade will remain until the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian ports. Additionally, only select commercial vessels will be allowed passage under certain conditions, including the payment of tolls.
