Revolutionary Guard Blocks US and Israeli Ships at Hormuz
The spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Brigadier General Hussein Moughni, denied the allegations that the United States managed to pass oil through the Strait of Hormuz, affirming that Iran will not allow any American or Israeli destroyer or vessel to pass through the strait. He explained that some small ships might transit to smuggle oil, but this does not mean the strait is open, and maritime movement is subject to exceptional circumstances. Reports also indicated that traffic might return to pre-war levels, but it remains restricted, with ongoing limitations on vessel movement due to military tensions and navigation restrictions in the strait. This strait is one of the most vital routes for transporting oil and gas from the Gulf to global markets, with approximately 20% of the world's oil supplies passing through it before the war. Any disruption here could significantly impact energy markets. In security developments, the Iranian Navy announced the explosion of a giant oil tanker following a collision with a sea mine south of the strait. The tanker was confirmed to be carrying over two million barrels of oil and was attempting to pass through the unauthorized passage prior to the explosion. The authorities warned against unauthorized crossings and declared they are prepared to take strict measures against any threats to the security of the strait.
