Iran has announced that the Strait of Hormuz remains open for civilian and commercial shipping under its supervision, even as regional tensions persist. However, Tehran issued a stern warning that any military vessels entering the strategic waterway would be treated as a violation of the ongoing ceasefire and could face a “strong and decisive” response. The statement comes amid heightened tensions following failed US-Iran talks and threats of a US naval blockade. While limited maritime traffic is allowed, strict controls and security risks continue to disrupt global shipping and energy flows through the crucial oil route. (PC: X)
