Iran Allows Passage of 'Non-Hostile Vessels' Through Hormuz

The Iranian mission in New York on Wednesday stated that “non-hostile vessels” will be allowed safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, subject to strict conditions. 

In a post on X, the mission said that vessels belonging to or associated with other states may pass through the strait, provided they do not support or participate in any acts of aggression against Iran and fully comply with declared safety and security regulations. It added that



such passage must be coordinated with relevant Iranian authorities.

The Iranian Defence Council has also made prior coordination with Iranian officials mandatory for the transit of these vessels through the strategic waterway. 

According to a report by state broadcaster Press TV, the decision comes amid what Tehran describes as ongoing military aggression by the United States and Israel against Iranian territory.
