❗️IRGC Navy disables US-escorted navigational systems, halts unauthorized oil transit in southern Hormuz The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced today that unapproved ship-to-ship oil transfers through the unauthorized southern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz have been completely halted. IRIB, citing an anonymous IRGC Navy official, reports that Iranian defense forces successfully neutralized key navigational assistance systems installed along the southern rock formations of the strait. The targeted installations had been utilized by non-compliant vessels attempting to bypass Iranian maritime authority under US naval escort. "Following the destruction of enemy navigational aid systems on the southern rocks of the Strait of Hormuz, no offending vessel was able to enter the illegal passage last night, and the flow of oil smuggling through this passage was completely stopped," the official declared. The operation marks a significant escalation in Tehran's strict enforcement of maritime sovereignty across the strategic chokepoint following the launch of the US-Israeli war on Iran. While Washington and regional allies have attempted to organize ship-to-ship transfers under armed US naval escorts along unapproved routes, the IRGC Navy has repeatedly warned that all non-compliant vessels operating outside the designated Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) framework face immediate interception, mine encounters, or targeted naval fire.
