🇮🇷 Iran announces halt to all ‘illegal oil smuggling’ through Strait of Hormuz Iran's destruction of “navigational aid systems” that were located on the “southern rocks” of the strait resulted in the complete cessation of unauthorized oil shipping through the waterway, IRIB News Agency reports, citing an IRGC Navy official. 🔊 “Illicit vessels were able to enter the illegal passage last night, and the smuggling of oil through this route has been brought to a complete halt,” the official states. Following the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28, Iran moved to de facto take control of all maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Vessels that wish to navigate the strait must do so via a route designated by Iranian authorities, with violators risking attacks by Iranian forces. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
