The Sultanate of Oman has requested the issuance of an urgent navigation warning for the Arabian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz after authorities determined that the existing Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) is no longer safe for navigation.
โข Omani authorities report an elevated risk of vessel collisions in the current operating environment.
โข A gradual and controlled evacuation of maritime traffic has been initiated.
โข Two temporary emergency transit corridors one north and one south of the existing TSS have been established for vessels exiting the strait.
โข Ships must assemble in a designated waiting area before receiving transit instructions.
โข Vessel movements will be coordinated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and relevant coastal authorities.
Mandatory Measures:
โข Ships will be assigned specific transit windows and instructed individually.
โข AIS tracking systems must remain active throughout transit.
โข Masters must maintain communications with coastal authorities and be prepared for sudden traffic suspensions to allow naval vessel movements.
โข Vessel owners remain responsible for conducting independent risk assessments before proceeding.
Oman also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz without the imposition of transit tolls.
The emergency navigation warning was distributed through the Oman National Hydrographic Office and coordinated via NAVAREA IX channels.
The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly one-fifth of global oil trade, making any disruption to maritime traffic a significant development for global energy markets and regional security.

According to a statement released by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, unspecified authorities without explicitly naming Oman declared a new vessel traffic route through the strait without coordination with Iran. The statement further asserted that the sole authorized traffic routes are those designated by Tehran and warned that alternative routes are "highly dangerous."
These remarks follow Oman's announcement of a "temporary maritime corridor" in the Strait of Hormuz, established in coordination with the International Maritime Organization.

๐ฎ๐ท ๐ฅ - Vessels are maneuvering to reverse course in the Strait of Hormuz following renewed Iranian assertions that only vessels with Iranian authorization may transit. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy continues to disseminate broadcasts declaring the Strait closed and warning of consequences should vessels proceed.
It should be noted that a similar situation occurred last weekend, during which no attacks were launched against shipping.
This precedent does not necessarily indicate that the same outcome will occur this time.

#BREAKING ๐ฎ๐ท - IRGC Navy struck US military positions in the region in response to America's aggression and treaty violation.
โFollowing the Zionist regime's violation of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon, the treaty-violating American regime, as has been its practice, breached its commitments. Citing various pretexts regarding the unauthorized passage of a vessel through the Strait of Hormuz, the American regime conducted an airstrike against the coastal territories of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In response to this act of aggression, the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted positions occupied by the American military in the region.
Pursuant to Article 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum, authority regarding the control of passage through the Strait of Hormuz resides with the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, the United States, by instigating various factions, sought to violate this commitment. The necessary response has been executed and will continue to be executed. Should the aggression be repeated, our response will be more extensive than the current action."
