Iran says it will announce a new shipping route through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in the coming days.
The announcement, reported by Al Jazeera Global News, follows reported US strikes on Iranian oil tankers. The source material does not provide independent verification of the alleged strikes.
Iran’s top negotiator has also warned that further attacks would prompt heavier responses, adding to uncertainty around shipping arrangements in the waterway.
No details have been provided about the proposed route, including when it would operate, how it would function or whether it would alter existing shipping arrangements.
