Oil Shipments, Transport Face Lock Down if Blocked

Iran's joint military command warned that all oil tankers using the Strait of Hormuz must follow its approved routes or face a "forceful response." Iranian state television reported that any deviation from designated routes or disregard for navigation protocols would lead to immediate action, endangering violating vessels. The command also stated that interference by US forces in the strait would prompt a rapid and decisive reaction.

This warning comes after an interim agreement between the US and Iran allowed ships to pass without charges for 60 days, though Tehran maintained it would control routes and eventually charge fees. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital chokepoint for global oil supplies. On Hyperdash,
