Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said 28 commercial vessels, including oil tankers and container ships, safely transited the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours under permits and security coordination from the IRGC Navy. Iranian military officials said all ships must use routes designated by Iran and obtain authorization before passing through the strategic waterway. Tehran warned it would respond to any attempts to interfere with its management of the strait, which it tightened after recent military tensions involving the United States and Israel. The U.S. has also imposed restrictions affecting ships traveling to and from Iranian ports.
