IRGC issues warning about new shipping route in Hormuz

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning to commercial vessels to adhere to routes through the Strait of Hormuz that are approved by Tehran, escalating tensions amid ongoing negotiations with the U.S. The warning follows Oman’s announcement of a new shipping route through the strait, which Iran claims was not coordinated with them. Both countries have previously agreed to open the strait for commercial shipping, but disputes over vessel control and transit fees could threaten broader peace negotiations.
