Iranian news agency Tasnim, which is based on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported that the crews of two other vessels reportedly disregarded warnings regarding transit through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Sky News has stated it could not independently verify this specific claim. According to the IRGC, a total of four ships allegedly failed to heed Iranian warnings, with the agency asserting that these vessels acted with perceived support from the United States.
The IRGC issued a statement warning that any ships influenced by “American words” and choosing “unsafe routes” would inevitably face difficulties. The context of the report involves international maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Previously, the US had urged crews of ships transiting the area to select a southern route, advising passage through the territorial waters of Oman to avoid direct engagement with Iranian interests.
In response to these advisories, Iran has reportedly established its own designated route for maritime traffic. The narrative presented by the irgc suggests a pattern of non-compliance among certain vessels. While the irgc attributes the actions to external influence, the report relies heavily on this source’s account, as independent confirmation of the alleged refusal to follow safe passage protocols has not been provided.
The core dispute centers on adherence to designated maritime corridors versus perceived external pressure affecting navigational decisions.
