▲ A cargo ship anchored in the Strait of Hormuz
A foreign container ship has run aground in the Strait of Hormuz after entering shallow waters outside the route designated by Iranian authorities, Iran's state-run IRIB broadcaster reported on July 1 (local time).
The broadcaster further emphasized a warning from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that all vessels must pass only through the waters south of Larak Island, Iran.
The Iranian government has maintained that this route is the only approved passage for vessels entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz.
