TEHRAN, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is only allowed via routes designated by Iran, warning that any newly announced shipping lanes without coordination are unacceptable and dangerous, according to media reports on Thursday.
It added that vessels must contact the IRGC Navy for transit instructions, and warned that ships failing to follow these rules may face action. ■
