IRGC Navy: 25 ships transited Strait of Hormuz in past 24 hours under its protection

The IRGC says some 25 ships passed the Strait of Hormuz in the 24 hours.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy continues to exercise full control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring the safe and orderly passage of commercial shipping in the face of repeated threats from extra-regional forces.

According to a statement released by the IRGC Navy Public Relations Department on Tuesday, 25 ships, including oil tankers, container ships and other commercial vessels, successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz during the past 24 hours after obtaining permission and receiving comprehensive security coordination and protection from the IRGC Navy.

The IRGC Navy stated that “smart control of the Strait of Hormuz is being carried out with full authority,” adding a firm warning, “Any aggression will be responded to with crushing blows.”

This smooth and secure transit of the vessels once again proves the IRGC Navy’s professional capability and commitment to safeguarding one of the world’s most vital energy corridors.

The IRGC Navy’s vigilant oversight ensures the uninterrupted flow of global energy supplies through the Strait while firmly defending Iran’s sovereign rights against any provocative or hostile actions.

On Monday night, US forces launched unprovoked strikes on sites in southern Iran, targeting areas near the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas, according to reports from American media outlets that even the aggressors themselves have been forced to acknowledge.

The latest US attacks come in violation of a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire agreement that has largely halted the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran since early April.

The war of aggression began on February 28 when the US and Israel launched unprovoked strikes against Iran, assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and targeting nuclear facilities, schools and hospitals.

Iran has repeatedly warned that any foreign aggression in the region, particularly in the vital Strait of Hormuz, endangers international navigation and energy security and will be met with a firm, proportionate response from Iran’s armed forces.

Local sources in southern Iran confirm that residents heard the blasts, but life in Bandar Abbas proceeds as normal, with port operations, civilian life, and strategic infrastructure unaffected.
