Vessels currently in the Arabian Gulf represent 87 countries from around the world, and as the President mentioned, they are merely neutral and innocent bystanders.
Over the last 12 hours, we've reached out to dozens of ships and shipping companies to encourage traffic flow through the [Strait of Hormuz], consistent with the President's intent to help guide ships safely through the narrow trade corridor.

The passage of non-hostile ships through the Strait of Hormuz is now conditional on obtaining prior permission.

We will respond militarily to any enemy vessel attempting to pass through areas under our control in the Strait of Hormuz.

We adopt a strategy of wisdom and strength in confronting Trump’s attempts to impose a naval blockade on us.

Trump’s claims of opening a corridor in the Strait of Hormuz for humanitarian reasons are pure lies.

We affirm that Trump is incapable of restoring the political and military situation to what it was before the outbreak of the war.
