Iran coordinates vessel transit through Strait of Hormuz amid US blockade
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims to have coordinated the passage of 26 vessels through the Strait of Hormuz in 24 hours, asserting control over the waterway despite a US blockade on Iranian ports. The standoff follows the February 28 beginning of the US-Israel conflict with Iran, which prompted Iran to blockade the strait and the US to impose counter-blockade measures. Global energy markets remain strained as talks between Washington and Tehran over resuming traffic remain stalled.
