The IRGC Navy statement, carried by وكالة سبأ, said the transiting ships included “oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels.”

Mehr News Agency also quoted the IRGC Navy’s Public Relations Department saying that “Over the past 24 hours, 25 ships, including oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels, passed through the Strait of Hormuz.”
Both outlets framed the movement as part of what the IRGC described as “Smart control of the Strait of Hormuz,” with the claim that any aggression would be met with crushing strikes.
Threat of crushing response
The IRGC Navy’s warning was repeated in the same terms across outlets, with Mehr News Agency saying the Strait of Hormuz was under “Smart control of the Strait of Hormuz is being carried out with might.”
Mehr News Agency added that “any aggression will be responded to with crushing blows,” while ISNA News Agency similarly warned that any act of aggression would face a “crushing response.”

ISNA News Agency described the transits as occurring “under its direct coordination and monitoring,” after the ships obtained “the necessary clearances and security coordination from the naval forces.”
In the same period, شفق نيوز reported that the IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz was “being firmly controlled,” and that “any aggression will be met with crushing blows.”
Regional posture and messaging
The IRGC Navy’s claims about Strait of Hormuz transit were presented alongside broader Iranian messaging about regional security and confrontation, including a statement on implementing “the 14 steps,” which شفق نيوز said came hours after Amir Ibrahim Rasooli’s comments.
“The Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the safe passage of 25 commercial vessels and tankers through the Strait of Hormuz under its direct coordination and monitoring, warning that any act of aggression will face a crushing response”
In that same شفق نيوز report, Rasooli said that “the Americans have retreated considerably,” while stressing the need to implement the 14 steps, including “a ceasefire on all fronts and building trust.”
Separately, PressTV said the IRGC Navy continued to exercise “full control over the Strait of Hormuz,” and warned that “Any aggression will be responded to with crushing blows.”
PressTV also linked the Strait of Hormuz narrative to its account of U.S. action, saying that on Monday night “US forces launched unprovoked strikes on sites in southern Iran,” targeting areas near Bandar Abbas.
