The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy broadcast a VHF transmission on channel 16, stating that a complete ceasefire in Lebanon and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon were stipulated in a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. Until those conditions are fulfilled, the IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and ordered all vessels to stay away for their safety, warning that any ship that defies the order will be targeted.
