Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy warned ships not to approach the Strait of Hormuz after declaring the route closed again. State media reports said vessels were told to follow only updates issued by Iranian forces. The IRGC said, "Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy, and the violating vessel will be targeted." It also rejected US President Donald Trump's statements on the key waterway. Iran asked ships to remain at anchorage in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. The warning came during a fragile ceasefire that is due to end on Wednesday. (PC: X)
