Iran warned on Friday that it will not guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz without prior coordination, escalating tensions after a container ship was attacked near Oman and amid a fragile US-Iran peace deal. The warning came as Iranian authorities turned back three foreign tankers attempting to use an unauthorized corridor, declaring such routes illegal and a security risk. Tehran also condemned a joint US-Gulf Cooperation Council statement calling for unconditional navigation, calling it “interventionist, irresponsible and provocative.”

In Manama on Thursday, Washington and GCC members demanded the immediate reopening of the strait and rejected any tolls or control mechanisms, stressing their shared goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons . Iran countered that safe passage depends on coordination under Article 5 of the Islamabad memorandum, insisting that parallel routes established without its consent pose serious risks .

Traffic through the strait continued on Friday despite the attack, which disrupted some transit plans. Empty LNG carriers gathered off Qatar’s Ras Laffan port, signaling a gradual recovery in exports . Thirteen of 26 South Korean-linked vessels stranded in the strait have since passed through, according to Yonhap News Agency, while the International Maritime Organization began evacuating around 11,000 seafarers stranded in the region .

Iran’s top military command also warned against Israeli military flights through neighboring airspace, calling such overflights a “dangerous act” and reserving the right to respond . Meanwhile, the IAEA confirmed on Friday that the recent US-Iran agreement grants the agency access to nuclear sites, with technical teams already discussing inspection protocols to verify Tehran’s highly enriched uranium stockpiles . UN nuclear chief Rafael Grossi emphasized that Iran’s pledge not to build a nuclear weapon would require “very strong” verification as permanent settlement talks progress .

The Panama Canal Authority reported that fiscal 2026 revenue is set to exceed an initial $5.2 billion forecast, as rerouted vessels from the strait pushed daily traffic to 41 ships and increased LNG transits .
