A foreign container ship ran aground in the shallow waters on the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, as Tehran continues to insist on maintaining control of the key waterway, according to Iranian state television and multiple Iranian official sources.
Iran's IRGC claimed the grounding was linked to the vessel not using Iran's approved route. Iranian officials said they had "repeatedly warned captains, shipowners and officials of shipping companies around the world that any entry or exit through routes other than the 'Route of Authority' in the Persian Gulf could lead to irreparable incidents."
