Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has set out the conditions it wants ships to meet to transit the Strait of Hormuz. In a post on 'X', the Guard said that all transit requires its permission, that civilian ships are only allowed to pass through Iran's designated route, and that military ships are still prohibited from transiting.
She described the list of conditions as a "new order," saying it is in line with the ceasefire agreement.
Her statement includes several details that Iran's foreign minister did not mention when he previously stated in 'X' that passage during the ceasefire was "fully open" to all commercial ships on a previously announced route.
However, traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remained heavy on Friday afternoon, when a large cruise ship attempted to pass through the channel en route to Muscat.
There were no guests on board the ship, called the Celestyal Discovery, at the time of the crossing. The Celestyal Discovery is equipped for 1,360 guests, with nine bars and an onboard pool, according to the company's website. The ship regularly takes passengers on three- and four-night voyages around the Aegean.
Shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz remain blocked, ship tracking data shows, despite Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi's announcement earlier today that the channel is "fully open for the remaining period of the ceasefire."
