CAIRO, April 12 (Reuters) - Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday that any military vessels attempting to approach the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the two-week U.S. ceasefire and be dealt with harshly and decisively.

The strait is under the control and 'smart management' of Iran's Navy, the Guards said in a statement reported by Iranian state media, adding it is "open for the safe passage of non-military vessels in accordance with specific regulations".
