The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that it permitted 22 ships to transit through a route it defined over the past day, while no vessels crossed the Omani route it has banned, according to the IRGC statement.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it had approved the passage of 22 ships along a route it designated over the past 24 hours, while barring any vessels from using the Omani maritime route, which it has banned. The statement was reported by The Zioneer.
The IRGC has been enforcing its own maritime restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The IRGC has warned ships away from the Omani coastal route and forced several vessels to turn back, claiming it controls transit in the strategic waterway. The latest claim, if confirmed, would indicate a significant degree of compliance with the IRGC's directives.
The claim comes from a single source — the IRGC's own statement — and has not been independently verified. The number of ships and the specific routes remain unconfirmed by external maritime tracking.
