US suspends military operation in Strait of Hormuz / Iran reacts

Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is possible under new procedures following the termination of a US military operation in the waterway, the Revolutionary Guards Navy said on Wednesday.

This appears to be Iran's first reaction to Washington's suspension of "Project Freedom," an operation to help guide commercial ships through the Strait, which has been under an Iranian and American blockade during the war.

The US launched the mission on Sunday but halted it today, citing progress in peace talks.

The statement did not specify what the new procedures were, but thanked the captains and owners of ships stationed in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ??Oman for their cooperation regarding passage through the waterway in accordance with Iran's regulations.

Iran has claimed sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and announced plans to load ships for safe transit through the strategic waterway. Many world leaders have warned that such a plan would be illegal under maritime law and set a dangerous precedent.

Iran's stance on the issue could threaten a renewed diplomatic effort to end the war. /CNA
