00:05transiting the Strait of Hormuz to obtain prior authorization and follow designated

00:10Iranian routes.

00:11Such broadcasts are typically issued by IRGC Navy maritime control and patrol elements

00:16responsible for monitoring traffic through the strategic choke point.

00:25in the area without immediate kinetic action.
