Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says that shipping “to and from ports of allies and supporters of the Israeli-American enemies” is prohibited through any corridor or to any destination, Iranian state media reports.
The IRGC adds that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and any transit through the waterway will face “harsh measures.”
