31 vessels passed through Hormuz on Thursday: IRGC Navy
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says commercial shipping continues despite regional tensions and insecurity in Persian Gulf
TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Thursday that 31 commercial vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours under the coordination and protection of the IRGC Navy, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
In a statement, the IRGC Navy’s public relations department said the vessels included oil tankers, container ships and other commercial ships transiting the strategic waterway.
“Over the past 24 hours, 31 vessels, including oil tankers, container ships and other commercial ships, transited through the Strait of Hormuz with the coordination and protection of the IRGC Navy,” the statement said.
The IRGC said the transit took place despite what it described as “the aggression of the U.S. terrorist army” and rising insecurity in the Persian Gulf, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz.
The statement added that the IRGC Navy had worked to maintain “a clear and safe passage” for international trade moving through the key maritime corridor.
The Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and Oman, is one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes, with a significant portion of global crude exports passing through the narrow waterway each day.
