Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it will impose stricter measures against ships violating existing agreements in the Strait of Hormuz. The warning came in a statement issued after recent reciprocal attacks between Iran and the United States. The IRGC reaffirmed that, under an interim agreement between the two countries, Tehran holds authority over navigation control in the strategic waterway.

The statement emphasized that any ship breaching the terms of the agreement would face harsher consequences than before. The IRGC also cautioned that any potential aggression by adversaries, similar to recent U.S. strikes, would be met with a strong response. It further noted that violating the ceasefire would contradict the memorandum of understanding and could lead to a complete halt of ongoing processes.

According to the statement, the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iran’s exclusive control for the next 30 days, underscoring Tehran’s intent to assert its authority in the region.
