Iran warns against bypassing its Strait of Hormuz route

Iran has warned ships against bypassing its coastal route in the Strait of Hormuz, following recent US airstrikes and mutual accusations of ceasefire violations between Washington and Tehran.

Iran issued a warning on Sunday, June 28, cautioning against any attempts to bypass the maritime route adjacent to its coastline within the Strait of Hormuz. This statement comes in the wake of renewed American bombardments against Iranian targets on Saturday. Both the United States and Iran have accused each other of breaching a fragile ceasefire.
