The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that over the past 24 hours, 26 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, including oil tankers, container ships and other commercial maritime vehicles.
According to an IRGC statement, the ships' passage was carried out "with the coordination and security provided by the Revolutionary Guard Navy."
Earlier in the day, it was reported that at least three tankers, carrying around eight million barrels of crude oil, had crossed the strategic maritime corridor, despite tensions and restrictions imposed by Iran.
Iranian authorities have stressed the claim that any movement in the Strait of Hormuz must be carried out in prior coordination with Tehran, while the Iranian government intends to establish a taxation regime for ships using this key route of global energy trade.
"26 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours. The passage was carried out with the coordination and security provided by the IRGC Navy. Passage through the strait is only allowed with prior coordination with Iran ," Iranian authorities say regarding the control in Hormuz.
