WANA (Mar 11) – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is under the “intelligent management” of its naval forces at all times, warning that American aggressors and their partners have no right to passage.

 

According to a statement by the IRGC Public Relations, two ships were targeted today for ignoring repeated warnings from Iranian naval forces:

 

  • The cargo vessel EXPRESS ROOM, owned by Israel and flagged under Liberia, was struck by Iranian projectiles this morning and brought to a halt after failing to heed prior warnings.
  • Hours later, the container ship MAYUREE NAREE was also fired upon after disregarding warnings and attempting illegal passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

 

The IRGC reiterated: “The Strait of Hormuz remains under the constant and intelligent management of the brave naval forces of the IRGC. American aggressors and their partners have no right to passage.”

 

In addition, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC Navy, wrote on his X (Twitter) account: “Were the ships assured they could freely pass through the Strait of Hormuz? You should ask the crews of EXPRESS ROOM and MAYUREE NAREE, who today trusted empty promises, ignored warnings, and attempted passage—but were caught. Any vessel intending to transit must obtain permission from Iran.”
