Iran's navy has announced that vessels near the Strait of Hormuz must obtain permission to transit the waterway. According to NS3.AI, this directive comes as U.S. President Donald Trump linked a two-week suspension of strikes to the immediate, full, and safe reopening of the strait. An audio recording shared by a crew member warned that any vessel attempting to pass without permission would be destroyed. Photos and videos from crew members depicted fighter jets over the Persian Gulf, with most vessels remaining anchored.#Iran #Navy #StraitOfHormuz #Tensions #PersianGulf #MaritimeSecurity #Military
