Iranian officials said ships must coordinate with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and transit only in lanes Iran deems safe, while military vessels remain prohibited. Shipping companies welcomed the announcement but said they need clarifications about mines, Iranian conditions, and practical implementation before resuming transit.
