BlockBeats News, March 4 — According to Iran’s Fars News Agency on March 3, Mohammad Akbari Zadeh, Deputy Commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, stated that the Strait of Hormuz is now fully under the control of the Iranian Navy, with more than a dozen oil tankers being hit by shells in the strait.

Akbari Zadeh said that the Revolutionary Guard Navy has repeatedly warned that the Strait of Hormuz is in a state of war, and any ships could be hit by shells or drones. However, more than a dozen oil tankers ignored the warnings, were hit by shells, and caught fire. Akbari Zadeh emphasized that after Iran announced a ban on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, oil tankers, commercial ships, and fishing boats have been unable to pass through the strait.
