Greece’s shipping ministry issued a safety warning Saturday for Greek vessels to stay away from key Middle Eastern waterways following recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran. The advisory warns of potential missile attacks, drone strikes, and electronic interference in the Persian Gulf region.
ATHENS – The Greek shipping ministry issued an urgent safety warning Saturday, directing vessels flying the Greek flag to stay clear of critical Middle Eastern waterways following recent military strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel, according to an official advisory obtained by Reuters.
“The developing situation affects the safety of navigation in the wider Persian Gulf, the Straits of Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman and the North Arabian Sea,” the official document stated, instructing vessel management companies to enforce maximum security protocols in these regions and at Israeli ports until additional guidance is provided.
The ministry’s warning also expressed concern that tensions could expand into the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden areas due to connections between Iran and the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group.
Ships operating in these waters were specifically cautioned to watch for possible missile or drone assaults, attacks targeting port infrastructure, hostile interference, electronic jamming, and potential disruptions to onboard navigation equipment.
