Iran Offers Safe Passage to Non-Hostile Vessels Through Strait of Hormuz
Iran has informed the United Nations Security Council and the International Maritime Organization that non-hostile vessels will be allowed to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Ships that neither engage in nor support actions against Iran must coordinate with Iranian authorities and follow all safety and security regulations. This announcement comes amid heightened tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which have disrupted about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Iran says it has taken necessary and proportionate measures to prevent adversaries from using the strait for hostile operations. The diplomatic note specifies that vessels linked to parties hostile to Iran will not qualify for safe passage. The communication was shared with UN leadership and circulated among maritime members as concerns grow over shipping security and energy stability.
