An official in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy announced on Thursday that 30 ships had been allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since the previous night, while emphasizing that restrictions would continue on what he described as “hostile ships.”
Iranian television quoted the official as saying, “Iran has allowed 30 ships to cross the Strait of Hormuz since last night.”
He added that “Iran’s position towards hostile ships has not changed, and they cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” without revealing further details about the nature of the ships or the countries in question.
Bloomberg reported earlier on Thursday that nine oil and gas tankers had crossed the Strait of Hormuz since last Sunday, noting that some of the nine vessels were still within the US blockade line in the Strait of Hormuz, amid continuing military and trade tensions in the region.
The Strait of Hormuz region has witnessed escalating tensions since last March, as the vital waterway has turned into a direct military and maritime confrontation between the United States and Iran.
