The Iranian Navy told vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday that they require Iranian authorization to pass, and not permission from 'the idiot's tweets,' according to the official statement. The message underscores Iran's continued insistence on controlling transit through the strategic waterway.
The Iranian Navy issued a statement Friday evening to vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that passage requires authorization from Iran, not from 'the tweets of the idiot.' The statement, attributed to the Iranian Navy, did not specify the target of the derogatory remark. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar Iranian assertions regarding the strait, including statements from the IRGC Navy, the Chief of the General Staff, and the Foreign Ministry, all emphasizing that Iran will not allow unauthorized transit. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. The message comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and regional dynamics. It remains unclear whether the Iranian Navy has issued any operational orders to enforce the requirement.
