Iran's Defense Committee issued a statement on the 23rd local time stating that the only way for non-belligerent vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz is to coordinate with Iran. The statement also emphasized that Iran has committed to "proportionate retaliation," but has also pledged "immediate and devastating responses" to attacks on power plants and energy infrastructure. Iran's Defense Committee further stressed that launching attacks on Iranian coasts or islands would sever shipping lanes and communication lines in the Gulf region and result in mine-laying in areas including Iran's coastal waters.
