IRGC Navy Halts Four ‘Violating’ Vessels in Strait of Hormuz
WANA (Jul 19) – The IRGC Navy issued a statement on Sunday, July 19, announcing that two violating ships met with accidents in an unsafe route in the Strait of Hormuz, while two others aborted their course.
According to the statement, hours earlier, four violating vessels—acting with mischief and backed by U.S. forces—turned off their navigation systems and ignored warnings from the IRGC Navy’s Strait of Hormuz Control Base.
The ships intended to disrupt and exit the strait via an unsafe route; subsequently, two were involved in accidents and stopped in place, while the other two abandoned their path.
The IRGC Navy emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is under its full control, stating that the only safe passage is the officially designated route.
The statement warned: “As previously stated, not a single drop of oil, gas, or chemical fertilizer will pass through the Strait of Hormuz without coordination and permission.”
The announcement concluded by warning that vessels influenced by the American enemy that enter unsafe routes will definitely face incidents.
