Commercial ships, including those from the U.S., have been granted access to sail through the Strait of Hormuz. The new protocols mandate coordination with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, a senior Iranian official disclosed to Reuters.
These vessels must adhere to safe lanes designated by Iran, as part of the renewed navigation directives. The arrangement comes alongside a likely deal to unfreeze Iranian assets.
While civilian transit has been permitted, military vessels continue to face restrictions and remain prohibited from crossing through this strategically significant waterway.
