SHOCKING IRAN ANNOUNCEMENT: Only “Friendly” Ships Allowed Through Strait of Hormuz — Warning Issued to Countries Supporting Attacks

 

Tensions in the Middle East continue to rise as Iran delivers a strong message regarding one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes. Iranian officials have announced that commercial ships belonging to countries involved in aggression against Iran will not be granted safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global energy transportation.

The statement has raised fresh concerns about international trade, oil prices, and the stability of shipping routes that supply a large portion of the world’s energy.

Iran Warns Aggressor Nations Over Shipping Access

Iran has made it clear that countries participating in attacks against its territory or leadership should not expect safe passage for their commercial vessels. According to Iranian authorities, nations that support or take part in military aggression against Iran will face restrictions when it comes to navigating through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

This warning highlights the growing geopolitical pressure surrounding one of the most important maritime gateways for global oil exports.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Explains the Policy

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi shared the country’s position during an interview in Tehran with a French news agency. He explained that Iran has already received requests from several countries asking for permission for their ships to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the minister, Iran has cooperated with a number of nations and has allowed their vessels to transit through the waterway without obstruction.

Cooperation for Some Nations, Restrictions for Others

However, Iranian officials emphasized that not all countries will receive the same treatment. Nations that have taken part in attacks or hostile actions against Iran will not be allowed to benefit from this critical maritime route.

The statement signals that Iran intends to use its geographic control over the strategic passage as a political and security tool in response to regional tensions.

Iran Says Previous Conflict Restarted After Months

Takht-Ravanchi also pointed out that when the war initially began last June, fighting stopped within 12 days after a ceasefire announcement. However, after roughly eight to nine months, opposing forces reorganized and resumed hostile activities against Iran.

According to him, the renewed tensions are a result of preparations made by rival powers rather than Iranian aggression.

Iran Claims It Wants Stability, Not War

Despite the escalating rhetoric, Iranian officials insist that the country is not seeking war. Instead, they say Iran wants a system or international arrangement that guarantees no future attacks will be launched against the country.

Tehran maintains that long-term regional stability can only be achieved if foreign powers stop aggressive actions and respect Iran’s sovereignty.

Iran Rejects Claims of Mining the Strait

Iran also dismissed allegations that it has been planting naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Officials called such reports inaccurate and misleading, insisting that Iran is not carrying out mining operations in the area.

This denial comes amid growing international speculation about possible threats to shipping in the region.

🇺🇸 Trump Claims Iranian Boats Were Targeted

The statement from Iran comes shortly after former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that American forces had struck 28 Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the claim, the vessels were allegedly being used to deploy naval mines in the busy shipping route. Iran, however, strongly rejected the accusation and described it as false information.

Global Markets Watching Closely

Because the Strait of Hormuz is responsible for transporting a massive share of the world’s oil supply, any tension surrounding the route could have major consequences for global energy markets.

Analysts warn that if shipping restrictions expand or military clashes intensify, oil prices and global trade could be heavily affected, potentially triggering a wider economic impact across the world.
