According to Sina Finance, IRGC official Ali Mohammadi said that safe passage through the U.S.-linked corridor in the southern Strait of Hormuz is no longer guaranteed, particularly near the Khasab area of Oman.

The Revolutionary Guards are said to be closely monitoring maritime traffic across the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman.

Mohammadi added that vessels seeking safe passage through the strait must use the Iranian-designated route.
