Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has said that a total of 15 ships, including four oil tankers, have passed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, according to Al Jazeera.

In a statement shared by Iran’s Fars news agency, the navy claimed the ships transited after receiving permission and coordinating with it.

The organisation warned that it would view any form of cooperation by vessels with “hostile forces” as an “imminent security threat” to be “dealt with accordingly”.
