Iran’s new body overseeing the Strait of Hormuz confirms a complete closure order for the strategic waterway until further notice, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the move overnight, The Times of Israel reports.
“Due to the tensions caused by the aggression of the American forces in the region and the announcement made last night by the Iranian armed forces, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice,” the Persian Gulf Strait Authority says in a post on X.
“Applicants who have been granted a transit permit are asked to be patient and wait for instructions from the PGSA.”
