CENTCOM Warns Civilians to Clear Iranian Naval Port Facilities Along Hormuz

The U.S. Army's Persian-language account (CENTCOMFarsi) has warned civilians in Iran to immediately distance themselves from all port facilities where Iranian naval forces operate. Port workers, administrative staff, and crews of Iranian commercial vessels must stay away from Iranian naval vessels and military equipment. The statement says Iran's regime is using civilian ports along the Strait of Hormuz for military operations that threaten international shipping. It warns that this dangerous action endangers the lives of innocent people, and that civilian ports used for military purposes lose their protected status and — under international law — become legitimate military targets.
