The IRGC Navy Command said in a statement on Friday that a new order has been established in the Strait of Hormuz, which is as follows:

1. Civilian vessels will only pass through Iran’s designated route

2. Military vessels will still be prohibited from passing through the strait

3. Movements are only permitted with the permission of the IRGC Navy

4. Any movement takes place in line with the agreement on the period of silence in the battlefield and after the implementation of the Lebanese ceasefire.

Earlier, an informed source close of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) clarified new dimensions of the Iran-US agreement on the Strait of Hormuz under the two-week ceasefire.

From the beginning of the ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, Iran was supposed to allow daily passage of a number of ships, the informed source said Friday.

“However” the source said “after the ceasefire in Lebanon failed to be implemented and the ceasefire agreement failed to include (a truce between) Hezbollah and the Zionist regime of Israel, Iran suspended the agreement on the passage of ships through the Strait.”

The informed source noted that Iran has set three conditions for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz:

1. The ships must be commercial and the passage of military ships is prohibited, and neither the ships nor the cargo should be related to the hostile countries.

2. Vessels must pass through the route designated by Iran.

3. The passage of ships must be coordinated with the Iranian forces responsible for the passage; as CENTCOM had, before the war, confirmed the management of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) over the Strait of Hormuz.

The informed source further emphasized that the implementation of some preconditions, including the ceasefire in Lebanon, was key to Iran’s decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
