Countries Expelling US and Israeli Diplomats Granted Passage Through Strait of Hormuz: IRGC

Tehran, March 10, 2026 – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that countries which have expelled American and Israeli ambassadors will be allowed unrestricted access to the Strait of Hormuz starting today, amid ongoing regional tensions.
An IRGC spokesperson dismissed US President Donald Trump’s statements on Iran as “meaningless,” asserting that Tehran will determine the end of the war. They emphasized that security in the region must either be ensured for all or denied to everyone.
The spokesperson warned that if attacks on Iran continue, not a single liter of oil will be exported from the region, highlighting the potential for further disruptions to global energy supplies.
This declaration comes as the conflict escalates, with Iran positioning itself as a key arbiter in Middle Eastern stability. International reactions to the IRGC’s stance are awaited, as it could influence diplomatic alignments and maritime trade routes.
