Iran IRGC warns US action in Strait of Hormuz will face a ‘crushing response’
Commercial vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell 19% last week, with daily crossings dropping to 25 from 120 before the conflict, per the latest reports cited by Forexlive.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps naval command said Tehran is solely responsible for managing vessel transit through the Strait of Hormuz and rejected what it called US “adventurism and interference,” according to Forexlive.
The IRGC navy accused the United States of undermining efforts to restore commercial shipping after months of disruption, saying Iran had increased vessel traffic over the prior two weeks before renewed US military actions jeopardized reopening.
Forexlive cited latest reporting that commercial vessel traffic through the strait fell 19% last week, while daily crossings dropped to 25 from 120 before the conflict.
The IRGC statement added that recent US operations “seriously disrupted” the gradual normalization of maritime transit, framing its position as a response to the renewed pressure in the strategic waterway.
