Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters Imposes Mandatory Maritime Routes, Warns Against Military Intervention in Strait of Hormuz

On Saturday, May 30, 2026, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters announced that all ships and oil tankers transiting maritime corridors must adhere to routes designated by Iranian authorities, strictly requiring prior authorization from the IRGC Navy before crossing. In an official statement, the headquarters emphasized that any violation of these transit regulations in the Strait of Hormuz would gravely jeopardize the security of the offending vessels. The statement further warned that any military intervention attempting to manage the strait would make the involved naval units a direct target for Iranian forces, which reasserted their firm control over this strategic artery for global energy trade.
