Iranian Television Reports Hormuz Transit Still Requires Tehran Coordination
<p>Iran’s state television reported on Thursday that vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continues to require coordination with Tehran,<em> Anadolu reports.</em></p>
<p>The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) maintains that ships seeking to transit the waterway must obtain coordination from its naval forces, according to the broadcaster.</p>
<p>Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday aimed at ending the recent conflict between Tehran and Washington that began in late February.</p>
<p>The agreement, published by Iran’s state news agency IRNA, requires Tehran to make every effort to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels at no cost for 60 days between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.</p>
<p>Commercial shipping will resume immediately, and once technical and military obstacles are cleared and Iran completes mine‑clearing operations, full service is expected within 30 days. The document notes that Iran will discuss the future administration and maritime services of the Strait of Hormuz with the Sultanate of Oman, in accordance with international law and the sovereign rights of the coastal states, and will also consult with other Gulf littoral states.</p>
<p>The United States will lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports.</p>
<p>After the United States and Israel launched hostilities on February 28, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, and on April 13 U.S. forces imposed a blockade on Iranian ports, effectively making commercial ship passage through the critical waterway nearly impossible.</p>
