🔥The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps releases a map of safe passage routes through the Strait of Hormuz to avoid contact with mines

On April 9, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy issued a statement saying that, due to recent fighting, anti-ship mines may be present in key traffic areas of the Strait of Hormuz. Vessels planning to pass through the strait should coordinate with the Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy and proceed via the alternative routes set by it. According to the map attached to the statement, these alternative routes require passing vessels to enter and exit the Persian Gulf from the north and south sides of Larak Island in the northern part of the strait, respectively. On April 8, Iran Ports and Maritime Organization released a safe navigation route map for the waters of the Strait of Hormuz, informing vessels traveling to and from the area to follow the principles of maritime shipping safety and avoid triggering mines. In the statement, the organization said that from February 28 to April 8, fighting in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz continued, and various anti-ship mines may be present in the main shipping routes of the Strait of Hormuz.
