IRGC: Military vessels approaching Hormuz constitute 'breach of ceasefire'

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the approach of military vessels toward the Strait of Hormuz would constitute a violation of the ceasefire, warning such moves would be met with a “firm and harsh” response, according to a statement reported by IRNA.

The IRGC said civilian shipping remains permitted under regulated conditions, rejecting "claims to the contrary".

The warning comes after US Centcom said that two of its destroyer ships transited Hormuz to ensure the strait is clear of sea mines previously laid by the IRGC.
