Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz Open to All Except ‘Enemy-Linked’ Ships:-

Iran says the Strait of Hormuz remains open to all shipping except for vessels it considers linked to its “enemies”, amid escalating tensions with the United States and its allies. Tehran’s representative to the U.N. maritime agency reaffirmed that the strategic waterway — crucial for around a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas exports — is accessible to international maritime traffic, but that ships connected to countries it labels adversaries will not be permitted to use it. The statement comes in the backdrop of a 48‑hour ultimatum issued by the U.S., demanding the strait be fully accessible or face retaliatory strikes on Iranian infrastructure. With maritime activity severely disrupted due to the broader Middle East conflict, Iran is seeking to portray its position as both firm and reasonable, saying it supports peaceful shipping while prioritising its security interests.
