WANA (May 24) – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that 33 commercial vessels and oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours under the coordination and security supervision of the IRGC Navy.

 

According to a statement released on Sunday, the vessels included oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels that were allowed to transit the strategic waterway after obtaining the necessary authorization.

 

The statement also stressed that the “smart control” of the Strait of Hormuz is continuing with full force following what the IRGC described as heightened insecurity caused by the “U.S. military’s aggression” in the area.

 

The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes, has once again become a focal point of regional tensions in recent months. Any developments affecting the security of the passage are closely watched by global markets and international shipping companies.
