Tehran [Iran], April 6 (ANI): As tensions escalate in West Asia and the Gulf, the Iranian Navy said the Strait of Hormuz has undergone irreversible changes and will not revert to its previous status, especially for the country’s adversaries — the US and Israel, Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reported on Sunday.
The naval command said recent regional developments have created a new reality in which extra-regional powers, led by Washington, can no longer dictate terms or project unchecked influence in Iran’s immediate maritime environment.
The IRGC Navy made the remarks in a post on X, noting preparations are underway for the “announced plan” of Iranian officials for a new order in the Persian Gulf. The post included the Persian statement: “تنگه هرمز هرگز به روال سابق باز نخواهد گشت مخصوصا برای آمریکا و اسرائیل.” and referenced the hashtag #طرح_ابلاغی.
According to Press TV, the initiative seeks to establish an indigenous security architecture in the Persian Gulf, based on the principle that the region’s stability and security must be guaranteed by littoral states themselves, without the provocative presence of outside forces.
Preparations reportedly include enhanced naval deployments, advanced monitoring systems, and coordinated rapid-response capabilities — measures intended to safeguard Iranian territorial waters and ensure the uninterrupted flow of energy through the strait.
The IRGC navy’s statement comes against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s recent warning to unleash “hell” on Iran if it continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed.
Iranian authorities have signaled the strait remains open to all except vessels tied to the US, Israel, and their allies, Press TV reported.
Meanwhile, Axios reported that the US, Iran and a group of regional mediators are discussing terms for a possible 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war. (ANI)
