A security source has confirmed the establishment of a communication line between Iran and the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, saying that the channel is purely political in nature and does not involve a direct military hotline from the Islamic Republic’s armed forces.
The source told Press TV on condition of anonymity that while a communication link has been set up, it is not a military coordination line.

This confirmation comes after the IRGC spokesperson denied reports of a direct contact line with the United States. The source emphasized that any transit through the strait must follow routes officially declared by Iran.
The communication line is part of efforts to prevent incidents in the strategic waterway. Iran has repeatedly asserted its authority over the Strait of Hormuz and stressed that safe passage cannot be guaranteed under ambiguous arrangements. The development follows the recent US-Iran interim agreement.
