Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy says it has temporarily closed the Strait of Hormuz, warning that no ships will be allowed to pass until further notice.
The IRGC blamed the United States for violating a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and said the waterway will remain closed until the U.S. stops what Iran describes as interference in the region.
The statement also warned that any further military action by the U.S. could trigger a stronger Iranian response, including attacks on additional U.S. bases in the Middle East.
However, Iran’s claims should be independently verified, as the operational status of the waterway may differ from official statements.
