IRGC warns vessels not to approach Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement on Saturday announcing that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed and warning vessels not to approach or risk their security being compromised.

The IRGC Navy cited Israel's actions in Lebanon, which it said violated ceasefire commitments, as the reason for the closure.
