Iran's Guards say 25 ships crossed Hormuz after securing permits

Twenty-five vessels, including oil tankers, container ships and other commercial vessels, crossed the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after receiving permits from the IRGC Navy, the force’s public relations office said on Tuesday.

The IRGC Navy said “smart control” of the Strait of Hormuz was being carried out “with authority” and warned that any violation would be met with “crushing blows.”
