Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy says safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz can be ensured if the United States ends its threats and new procedures are put in place. The Iranian statement comes as the US pauses a short-lived operation that was meant to help guide or assist merchant ships passing through the waterway, Reuters-style reporting described by several outlets as a response to concerns about stranded vessels. NPR and other sources say the US pause follows President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend the military-guided effort. Multiple outlets report this is Iran’s first reaction since Washington halted its operations to help ships transit the strait. Iranian media, as cited by outlets including CNA, Japan Times, Egypt Independent, Al Jazeera and News24, attributes the assurance to the IRGC Navy and links it to changes in procedures rather than a resumption of US involvement. The reports are aligned on the core points: the US is pausing an escort or guidance-related effort, and Iran says safe passage is still possible under new arrangements led by Iranian authorities.
