IRGC Navy mandates Hormuz route via Larak Island

The IRGC Navy has designated a specific maritime route south of Larak Island for ships entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by state broadcaster IRIB. Vessels that fail to adhere to this Iranian-approved route will be held responsible for any accidents. This directive reinforces Iran's unilateral control over the waterway amid ongoing tensions with the United States and Israel.
