Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims to be engaged in daily military conflicts with small vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement from its spokesperson, Hossein Mohebbi, to the semi-official Fars news agency. Mohebbi highlighted that Iran has been attacking these ships and blocking their passage for an extended period, while the United States has not responded to these actions.
The situation has prompted Iran to examine the United States' reaction to Tehran's proposal to reopen the strait, which was relayed by Qatar. Additionally, the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported attacks on at least three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, further emphasizing the ongoing tension in the region.
