WANA (Mar 25) – Iran’s mission to the United Nations has announced that non-hostile vessels can pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz, provided they coordinate with Iranian authorities.

 

In a post on X, the mission stated that ships not engaged in or supporting hostile actions against Iran may benefit from safe passage.

 

This includes vessels belonging to or associated with other countries, on the condition that they fully comply with announced safety and security regulations and coordinate with relevant Iranian authorities.

 

The statement added that vessels involved in or supporting military actions against Iran are excluded from such arrangements.

 

Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in a phone conversation with his Malaysian counterpart, said the Strait of Hormuz is closed to vessels linked to the United States and Israel, as well as any parties involved in military actions against Iran.

 

He added that other vessels may transit the waterway with prior coordination to ensure safe passage.
