The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has announced that it is halting “oil smuggling through an illegal passage” in the Strait of Hormuz, according to state broadcaster Press TV.

Citing a report by the Fars News Agency — which cites an IRGC source — Press TV says the IRGC has achieved this by destroying “enemy navigation aid systems on the key waterway’s southern rocks”.

“No unauthorised vessels managed to enter the illegal passage overnight following the destruction of the navigation systems,” Press TV says.
