Due to the sighting of a floating object suspected to be a naval mine west of the Inshore Traffic Zone in the Strait of Hormuz within Omani territorial sea, the Maritime Security Centre urges all seafarers, fishermen, and vessels to exercise the utmost caution while navigating in the area.

All maritime users are advised to keep a safe distance from any suspicious objects and report them immediately to the relevant authorities.

Given the integrity of this route, it is emphasized that all ships, commercial vessels, and oil tankers are only required to transit through designated routes and obtain permission from the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Any violation of these regulations will seriously jeopardize their transit security. It is also warned that any military vessel's attempt to interfere with the management of the Strait of Hormuz or disrupt transit will be targeted by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
