Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it coordinates and authorizes merchant-ship movements through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipping. Multiple outlets citing Iranian state media report IRGC figures for different 24-hour periods, with totals varying by report. One IRGC statement carried by Iranian media says 26 vessels transited the strait during the past 24 hours under IRGC guidance. Other reports cite IRGC claims of 25 vessels, 28 vessels, and 35 vessels passing with Iranian permission in separate recent 24-hour windows. Several accounts specify that the transiting fleet includes oil tankers and container vessels and that vessels move after receiving authorization from Tehran and coordinating with the IRGC navy. Separately, the IRGC warns that ships from countries it describes as “hostile” to Iran would be blocked from passing through the strait, citing an “imminent security threat” rationale. The reports also reference ongoing U.S. military presence and Iran’s efforts to assert control over the waterway amid broader tensions in the region. No independent verification of the counts is provided in the available summaries.
