Iran has set three conditions for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by the Tasnim news agency. Vessels must be commercial, and neither the ships nor their cargo should be linked to hostile countries. They must also follow routes defined by Iran and coordinate their passage with Iranian forces responsible for traffic in the strategic waterway. This announcement comes amid ongoing tensions and contradictory statements from the U.S. and Iran regarding the status of the strait.
