[Iranian Military: 26 Ships Passed Through the Strait of Hormuz in the Past 24 Hours] On the 28th local time, the Public Relations Department of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy issued a statement saying that in the past 24 hours, 26 merchant ships and oil tankers passed through the safe passage of the Strait of Hormuz after obtaining permission and coordinating with the Revolutionary Guard Navy. The statement said that obtaining permission and coordination are necessary for navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. As previously announced, passing through from other routes is considered interference with navigation and will be dealt with. Last night, several ships attempted to illegally enter the Persian Gulf by tampering with and disabling their navigation systems. After issuing multiple radio warnings, the Revolutionary Guard Navy intercepted and stopped two of the ships, and the remaining ships were forced to turn back. The statement also said that the US military violated the ceasefire agreement in the area by firing several missiles at an open area near Bandar Abbas airport, causing no damage. However, in response to this violation, the US base at the source of the attack was retaliated against. The announcement also stated, "If the U.S. military takes such actions again, it will face a severe response from us. The control and management of the Strait of Hormuz is entirely the responsibility of the Revolutionary Guard Navy, and any interference with the strait will be met with a decisive response."
