Iran has informed member states of the International Maritime Organization that vessels deemed "non-hostile" may transit the Strait of Hormuz, provided they coordinate with Iranian authorities, according to a letter cited in a Tuesday report.

The ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran has nearly completely blocked the passage of approximately one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas through the strait, resulting in significant disruptions to oil supplies.

In the letter distributed to IMO members on Tuesday, Iran's foreign ministry stated that Tehran has "taken necessary and proportionate measures to prevent aggressors and their supporters from using the Strait of Hormuz to carry out hostile actions against Iran."

The letter clarified that vessels associated with the United States and Israel, as well as those belonging to "other parties involved in the aggression," do not qualify for innocent passage or non-hostile transit.
