On May 28, the public relations department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced that in the past 24 hours, 26 commercial ships and oil tankers passed through the safe passage of the Hormuz Strait after obtaining permission and coordinating with the IRGC Navy. The announcement stated that obtaining permission and coordinating is mandatory for navigation in the Hormuz Strait. As previously announced, passing through other routes will be considered interference with navigation and will be dealt with accordingly. Last night, several vessels attempted to illegally enter the Persian Gulf by tampering with and shutting down their navigation systems. After multiple radio warnings, the IRGC Navy intercepted and halted two of these vessels, while the others were forced to turn back. The announcement also indicated that the US military violated the ceasefire agreement in the region by launching several missiles at an open area near Bandar Abbas Airport, causing no damage. However, in response to this violation, the base from which the US military launched the attack was counterattacked. 'If the US military takes such actions again, they will face our severe response. The control and management of the Hormuz Strait is entirely the responsibility of the IRGC Navy, and any interference with the Strait will be met with our decisive response.' According to monitoring by PolyBeats, the probability of the Hormuz Strait being navigable by the end of this month is now less than 1%, and the probability of it being navigable by the end of next month has dropped to 34%.
