Iran Says Enemy Weapons Will No Longer Pass Through Strait of Hormuz

Tehran: Iran has announced that military equipment and weapons belonging to hostile countries will no longer be allowed to transit through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said Tehran had previously shown flexibility regarding its sovereignty rights over the waterway, allowing the passage of military-related cargo that was later allegedly used against Iran.

He stated that such policies would no longer continue, adding that Iran intends to take tougher measures to safeguard its national security and regional interests.

According to Aref, Tehran will not tolerate the transportation of military hardware or defense supplies that could benefit countries considered hostile to Iran.

The remarks come amid growing tensions in the region and increasing international concern over the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route responsible for carrying a major share of global oil shipments.

Security analysts believe any restrictions on military or commercial movement through the corridor could have significant implications for regional stability, international trade, and global energy markets.
