ایران کی پاسداران انقلاب بحریہ نے جمعرات کو کہا کہ ایران پر امریکی حملے اور آبنائے ہرمز کے ذریعے جہاز رانی کو دوبارہ منظم کرنے میں مداخلت اس اہم آبی گزرگاہ کو بتدریج دوبارہ کھولنے میں خلل ڈال رہی ہے اور اس سے فائدہ اٹھانے والے ممالک کے مفادات کو خطرے میں ڈال رہی ہے۔

پاسداران انقلاب نے مزید کہا کہ ایران کی نگرانی میں ٹرانزٹ کی صلاحیت گزشتہ دو ہفتوں میں جنگ سے پہلے کی سطح کے تقریباً 50 فیصد تک بحال ہو گئی ہے۔ انہوں نے یہ بھی واضح کیا کہ ٹرانزٹ کی صلاحیت صرف ان جہازوں کے لیے بڑھائی جا رہی ہے جنہیں ایران کی طرف سے مقرر کردہ راستوں کو استعمال کرنے کی اجازت دی گئی ہے۔

انہوں نے خبردار کیا کہ امریکہ کی مزید کسی بھی مداخلت کا “کرارا جواب” دیا جائے گا۔

Oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz was at a near standstill on July 9, 2026, following renewed US airstrikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliation in the Gulf. Only two tankers, Berg 1 and Well Sail, reportedly transited the strait in the early hours. Shipping industry sources indicated that vessels are increasingly switching off their public AIS tracking transponders. This latest flare-up has strained a three-week-old truce between the US and Iran. Iranian armed forces launched attacks on US military infrastructure in neighboring Gulf states in response to US strikes on Iran’s southern coastal and eastern provinces. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Navy warned that any further US intervention would draw a “crushing response.” The Strait of Hormuz handled approximately a fifth of global oil supplies before the war began on February 28.
