Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has said that it extended the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian navy has declared the strait fully closed until the US blockade on Iranian ports and ships is lifted. On Friday, Iran said vessels could move through the strait in coordination with it and against the payment of a toll. The development comes after two gunboats from IRGC opened fire on a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.
