IRGC Navy Coordinates Passage of 33 Vessels Through Strait of Hormuz

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced on Sunday that it coordinated the passage of 33 vessels through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours. The ships included tankers and container ships, according to the IRGC Navy.

The IRGC Navy stated that the intelligent control of the Strait of Hormuz is being vigorously carried out following the severe insecurity created as a result of the aggression of the US terrorist army in the region. The announcement highlights the ongoing tensions in the strategic waterway, which is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments.

The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and is a vital route for about 20% of the world's oil supply. Iran has frequently asserted its control over the strait, especially amid heightened tensions with the United States and its allies.

According to the report by Mehr News Agency, the IRGC Navy's coordination of vessel traffic aims to ensure safe passage despite what it describes as US-Israeli aggression. The statement did not provide further details on the specific vessels or their destinations.
