Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (CGRI) has declared that no vessels linked to the United States or Israel will be permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil transport.
Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the CGRI’s naval forces, stated on his X account, “We declared this at the beginning of the war and we reiterate: No ship related to the aggressors of Iran has the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. If you have doubts, approach and test.”
The announcement comes as Iranian forces have asserted control over the Strait in response to joint aggression from Israel and the U.S., and following attacks on several tankers in the area. This action effectively paralyzes a key shipping lane through which approximately 20% of the world’s oil supply travels, raising concerns about potential disruptions to global energy markets.
The situation has already triggered significant volatility in oil prices. On Monday, March 9, crude oil experienced historic fluctuations, briefly surpassing $100 a barrel and even approaching $120 before prices began to decline.
According to Iran’s ISNA news agency, the CGRI has stated it will allow passage through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz to any country that expels ambassadors from the United States and Israel.
