IRGC Navy: 20 commercial ships transit Hormuz in 24 hours after obtaining permission
The IRGC Navy has announced that 20 commercial vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after obtaining permission and coordinating with the force.
Speaking to the Iranian State Broadcaster (IRIB) in Hormozgan Province, the IRGC Navy's Public Relations Office said that 20 commercial ships transited the strategic waterway during the last day following coordination with the force.
The IRGC Navy emphasized that "intelligent control and monitoring of the Strait of Hormuz is being carried out with full authority, and any violation will be met with a crushing response."
Early this month, Iran officially launched a new mechanism for governing maritime traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Under the newly implemented system, which Press TV first reported, all vessels intending to transit the Strait will receive an email from the official address info@PGSA.ir outlining the rules and regulations for passage.
Iran shut down the Strait to its enemies and their allies after the illegal, unprovoked US-Israeli aggression. Iranian authorities began enforcing much stricter controls following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a blockade targeting Iranian vessels and ports.

Tehran says the measures violate the terms of a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire that took effect on April 8 and was later extended unilaterally by Washington.
The Strait of Hormuz is responsible for a fifth of the global oil supply, and Iran’s restrictions have caused a major surge in international oil and commodity prices since they were imposed in April.
Iran says it is ready to gradually reopen the strait if it receives concrete guarantees about a permanent end to US-Israeli aggression and the lifting of all Washington’s sanctions and the blockade of the country.
However, authorities have indicated that the situation in the strait will never return to what it was before the war, and that restrictions and bans will continue to be applied to ships owned by or linked to hostile regimes.
