Iran announced the diversion of three vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and confirmed restrictions on passage through the key maritime artery.

Iran said it had turned away three vessels that were attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the strait remained closed.

“Passage from and to ports of countries allied with our enemies through any sea lanes is prohibited for any vessels. We confirm that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, and any attempt to cross it will meet with a decisive response.

Three cargo ships of different nationalities attempted to enter the Strait of Hormuz corridor, designated for authorized vessels. These attempts were based on Trump's lies about the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The vessels attempting to cross the strait were turned back after a warning from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval forces,” the IRGC said.
