Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said on X that the body would provide “real-time updates on the #Hormuz_Strait operations and latest developments,” The Independent reported.

Iran has reportedly restricted shipping through the vital strait since the United States and Israel attacked Tehran on February 28. A fragile ceasefire has reportedly been in place since April 8.
