Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) announced on Sunday that they are completing plans to implement new operational rules in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane that carries about 20% of the world's oil and gas. This announcement coincides with the US and Iran receiving proposals aimed at halting hostilities, which could lead to the reopening of the strait. However, Iranian officials have made it clear that they will not agree to reopen the waterway as part of a temporary ceasefire arrangement. The IRGC's statement emphasized that conditions in the Strait will not revert to previous norms, particularly concerning the United States and Israel. The situation escalated following threats from US President Donald Trump regarding potential military actions against Iran if the shipping route remains closed. Amid these tensions, new aerial strikes have been reported in the region, further complicating the dynamics of the ongoing conflict.
