Iran on Wednesday said “non-hostile” vessels may be allowed safe passage through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, even as tensions continue to simmer in the region.In a statement posted on X, the Permanent Mission of Iran to the United Nations said ships not linked to hostile actions against Tehran could transit the strait, subject to certain conditions. “Non-hostile vessels, including those belonging to or associated with other states, may — provided that they neither participate in nor support acts of aggression against Iran and fully comply with the declared safety and security regulations — benefit from safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian authorities,” the mission said.
