In a statement on Sunday, the public relations office of the IRGC Navy said the vessels included oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels that passed through the strategic waterway with coordination and security protection provided by the Iranian force.

The statement added that the IRGC Navy’s “smart control” of the Strait of Hormuz is continuing firmly following the severe insecurity created in the waterway after the aggression launched by the “terrorist US army.”
