A new report has claimed that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, according to a military source quoted by Iran’s Fars News Agency. The report says that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy has not allowed any ships to pass through the waterway until further notice.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important sea routes in the world. It connects the Persian Gulf with the open ocean and is used for a large amount of global oil and trade shipping. Any disruption in this area can affect international markets and energy supply.
According to the report, the decision comes during a time of rising tension in the region. Earlier, there were discussions between the United States and Iran about a possible 60-day ceasefire aimed at peace negotiations. However, the situation appears to have changed after recent regional developments.
The military source mentioned that the closure is linked to reactions over reported Israeli strikes in Lebanon. In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps allegedly announced restrictions on movement through the strait. However, there has been no independent confirmation from all sides regarding a complete shutdown.

On the other hand, the United States military has stated that commercial shipping is still continuing in the area, suggesting that the situation on the ground may be more complex than reported.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a highly sensitive and strategic waterway. Even small changes in its status can lead to global concern, especially in energy markets and international trade routes.
At this stage, details are still developing, and different reports are giving mixed information. Authorities and global observers are closely watching the situation to understand whether the closure is fully in effect or partially restricted.
The situation highlights how quickly regional tensions can impact global shipping and economic stability.
