Report: Iran claims the Strait of Hormuz has been closed, three container ships have been expelled.

``` According to CCTV International News, today (March 27), Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement declaring that the Strait of Hormuz is now closed, and any attempt to pass through the strait will be met with severe strikes. The statement also said that any vessels traveling to and from "enemy (U.S. and Israeli) allies and supporters’ ports," regardless of their destination or route, are prohibited from passing through. On Friday afternoon, according to Iranian media reports, three container ships of different nationalities were forced to turn back from the Strait of Hormuz after warnings from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that the Strait of Hormuz is now closed, and any transit through the waterway will face "severe measures." Pole Star Global Chief Data Analyst Salim Khan stated that the U.S. Navy’s convoy plan through the Strait of Hormuz is physically unfeasible. He added that the strait, which is only 21 miles wide, makes any vessel passing through it a “sitting duck.” “We’ve seen that ships flying Western flags have basically withdrawn from the area, but ships associated with Iran, China, and India are still managing to pass through,” Khan told me on Bloomberg Television. He also said that at sea, “it’s basically all fake passports. These ships change their destination information during the voyage, for example, displaying ‘Chinese shipowner,’ which is actually a signal to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps that they are friendly and should be allowed to pass.” Risk Warning and Disclaimer The market involves risk, and investment must be made with caution.
