Iran says the IRGC Navy successfully escorted and monitored 33 commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz within the last 24 hours, despite mounting U.S. pressure in the Gulf. Iranian state media reports the convoy included oil tankers, container ships, and major crude carriers traveling toward the Gulf of Oman and international markets. IRGC commanders described the operation as proof that Tehran maintains full control over security inside the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz handles nearly 20 percent of global oil trade, meaning any disruption could send shockwaves through international energy markets and sharply increase geopolitical tensions across the Middle East.
