Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced that 15 vessels, including four oil tankers, passed through the Strait of Hormuz within the past 24 hours. According to a statement published by Iran’s Fars news agency, the ships crossed the strait after obtaining permission and coordinating with the IRGC Navy.

The statement warned that any vessel cooperating with what it termed “hostile forces” would be considered an immediate security threat. The IRGC added that it would take necessary measures depending on the situation if such threats arise.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes, and the IRGC’s latest declaration comes amid ongoing regional tensions. Observers note that such warnings could heighten international concern over security and navigation in the area.
