Iran’s IRGC Outlines Alternative Shipping Lanes in Hormuz Strait Amid Mine Threat

This guidance aims to steer ships clear of reported sea mines in the main shipping corridor. The move follows Tehran’s agreement to a temporary two-week ceasefire with the United States. Iran had restricted passage since March, disrupting global shipping and driving up energy prices. The Strait of Hormuz remains critical, handling about one-fifth of the world’s oil exports.
