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.

The claim by Trump and others that the Strait of Hormuz must be opened is our matter, and we will not allow them to decide; the management of it will be turned into law by the Parliament.
