Iran's Revolutionary Guard Announces New Hormuz Management Rules Under Supreme Leader's Orders

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared the establishment of new regulations and equations governing the management of the Strait of Hormuz, acting upon the directives of Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. This announcement signals a significant move by Tehran to assert greater control over the vital waterway.

“

The equations and rules for the new management system of the Persian Gulf have been established, and they will be implemented in accordance with the historical orders of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

According to the IRGC Navy's statement, the newly formulated rules are designed to enhance Iran's dominance and control over the 2,000 kilometers of coastline along the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC explicitly stated its intention to transform this strategic maritime route into a source of livelihood and power for the Iranian people, while simultaneously fostering security and prosperity within the region.

“

Based on the dominance and control over the 2,000 kilometers of Iranian coastline along the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, we will make this region a source of livelihood and power for the Iranian people, and a source of security and prosperity for the region.

This development follows Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's recent pronouncements. Since his election on March 12, Khamenei has emphasized the need for "effective defense that makes the enemy regret" and stressed the continued utilization of the "leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz." He has also indicated that research into opening "other fronts" where the enemy is inexperienced and vulnerable has been completed, with the potential to activate these fronts if the conflict escalates.

What the Iranian nation desires is the continuation of effective defense that makes the enemy regret. Furthermore, the leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz must continue to be utilized.

Furthermore, on 'National Persian Gulf Day' last month, Khamenei expressed gratitude for Iran's capability to manage the Strait of Hormuz, vowing to end its "hostile misuse" and secure regional security. He also announced Iran's implementation of a new legal framework for managing the Strait, heralding a new chapter for the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. This assertive stance underscores Iran's strategic objectives in the region and its determination to leverage its geographical position.

“

Research on opening 'other fronts' where the enemy is inexperienced and very vulnerable has already been completed, and if the war continues, we will activate these fronts based on specific interests.
