- Iran says the possibility of stopping services for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to be governed by “special measures” for the Strait for Iran and other “countries” in the region.
- According to a report by Al Jazeera, Iran to the United States has warned of a possible interruption of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days, but the United States believes that Iran will not be able to stop the flow of ships with commercial cargo.

The Iranian side to the Committee of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea explains that it is possible to stop commercial shipping services through the Strait of Hormuz for the benefit of Iran and other “countries” in the region. Speaking at the World Peace Forum in Pekin, Fazli also said that the war is not “a war of tariffs,” but that Iran is implementing “new rules” for shipping.
In a report by Al Jazeera, it is said that Iran to the United States has sent a message warning of a possible interruption of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days. In the material, it is also noted that the U.S. has said: Iran will not be able to stop the flow of ships through the Strait of Hormuz for any final reason.
In a report by El País, it is claimed that Iran and Oman have an agreement on how to manage the ships. It is noted that the 60-day regime without interruption of shipping would be a response to the U.S. sanctions imposed on Iran. El País also says that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) establishes the “strait” regime for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The material also states that Oman has signed a convention, so Iran does not violate it.
Al Jazeera also points out that the Iranian side’s claim about the possibility of stopping commercial shipping services through the Strait of Hormuz is not without controversy. It also says that Iran and Oman, which have not agreed to close the Strait, would be violating international rules, and that it would be a violation of the UN convention. The material also says that Iran and Oman are expected to review the models of how to manage ships.
