IRGC says it will soon block 'illegal' routes in Strait of Hormuz, first admission waterway no longer fully closed

Iran's IRGC says it will "soon" block "illegal" routes in the Strait of Hormuz, according to semi-official Fars news agency — the first public admission by the IRGC that the waterway is no longer fully closed. The move follows IRGC commander Ali Fadavi's warning that ships using the US-supervised southern route "may be targeted at any point", and comes after a tanker turned back after being ordered to do so or risk being targeted.
