CAIRO, Egypt — Iran’s ports and maritime organization says that safe passage routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been designated and must be used by ships in coordination with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Student News Network reports.

The organization says that the safe entry path is from the Sea of Oman toward the north of Larak Island, while the safe exit path from the Gulf passes south of Larak Island and toward the Sea of Oman.
