A foreign ⁠container ship has run aground ⁠in the Strait of Hormuz after entering shallow waters outside ‌the shipping route designated by Iranian authorities, Al Jazeera quotes Iran’s ⁠state media as saying.

The news report reiterated IRGC’s warning that ⁠vessels should transit ⁠only through the corridor south of Iran’s ⁠Larak island, which ⁠Tehran says ⁠is the sole approved entry and exit route ‌for ships passing through the strait.

The extent of damage sustained remains unclear, Al Jazeera notes.
