Development in the Strait of Hormuz: Europe in negotiations with the Revolutionary Guards

According to coordinated reports in Iranian media outlets close to the regime, including اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, آخرین خبر and خبرفوری‌نیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا, European countries have begun conducting official contacts with the IRGC Navy of Iran. The purpose of the talks is to regulate the passage of European tankers and ships through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The reports indicate that this step comes after ships from East Asian countries, led by China, Japan, and Pakistan, have already secured their passage through the area. According to an announcement by صداوسیما (the Iranian Broadcasting Authority), the fact that European countries are now forced to enter into direct negotiations with the Iranian military organization marks the consolidation of what is known in Tehran as the "Iranian Order."

At the same time, the 'آخرین خبر' agency emphasizes that "the Iranian order in the Strait of Hormuz remains in place." According to the joint reports, Iranian control extends from the southern entrance to Hormuz Island to the southern exit to Larak Island.

It should be noted that these sources are identified with the official narrative of Tehran, which seeks to demonstrate military power and international recognition of Iran's sovereignty over shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf. No official European response to these reports has been reported.
