Iran's ​state ​media said on Wednesday a foreign container ship ran aground ⁠in the Strait ⁠of Hormuz after entering shallow waters ‌outside the ​shipping ⁠route designated by ​Iranian authorities.


State media ‌reiterated the ​Revolutionary Guards' 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.
