US warns civilians: Avoid the Strait of Hormuz area

The United States Central Command has warned civilians to immediately avoid the Strait of Hormuz area.

"The Iranian Navy has positioned vessels within civilian ports along the Strait of Hormuz and civilians should immediately avoid the area as they become legitimate targets ," the US Central Command statement said.

Centcom said Iran is using the ports to conduct military operations that threaten international maritime transport.

"This dangerous action endangers the lives of innocent people. Civilian ports used for military purposes lose their protected status and become legitimate military targets under international law," she said.

It further called on Iranian civilians to immediately avoid all port facilities where Iranian naval forces operate.

"Iranian port workers, administrative personnel and crews of merchant ships should avoid Iranian naval vessels and military equipment ," the statement said.

Centcom announced last night that the US has struck 16 Iranian ships laying mines near the Strait of Hormuz. /CNA
