Caolán Magee
Summary
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned commercial vessels to only use Tehran-approved routes through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing back against a new shipping transit route announced by Oman in coordination with the International Maritime Organization. The dispute reopens tensions between the US and Iran over control of the strategic waterway, as maritime traffic slowly resumes after weeks of disruption. Experts note that disagreements over shipping routes and transit fees could complicate efforts to reach a permanent agreement.
