Iranian Foreign Ministry: Non-Military Vessels Allowed to Pass Through the Strait of Hormuz

BlockBeats News, April 18th - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei stated on the 17th that due to the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, Iran will fulfill its earlier commitment this month to allow non-military vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. However, they must use Iran's designated waterway and coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy.

Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that Baghaei said Iran would consider the U.S. naval blockade as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. If the blockade continues, Iran will take necessary countermeasures.

Baghaei also mentioned that the media and the public should not pay attention to the enemy's propaganda tricks. The enemy will make contradictory statements within a single day to shape public opinion. Iran is the "guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz and will never compromise on safeguarding the interests and rights of the Iranian people.
