BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 28. During the past 24
hours (May 27), 26 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz in
coordination with the Naval Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps (IRGC), Trend reports, citing Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC).
According to the information, oil tankers, container ships, and
other commercial vessels passed through the strait, and their
safety was ensured.
“Obtaining permission and coordinating to pass through the
Strait of Hormuz is mandatory. As previously announced, passing
through this strait by other means will be recorded as a violation
and necessary steps will be taken.
Last night, several ships attempted to enter the Persian Gulf
illegally by turning off their tracking systems. After issuing
several warnings, the IRGC Naval Forces detained two ships, while
the remaining vessels were forced to turn back,” the report
notes.
The IRGC states that the US military violated the ceasefire by
firing several missiles at an empty area of the Bandar Abbas city
airport. As a result, no casualties were recorded. A retaliatory
response was given to the US airbase that carried out the
attack.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan’s mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
