JAKARTA - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said 31 ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours.
"The ships include oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels," the IRGC Navy said in a statement shared by Iran's Tasnim news agency, Thursday, May 21 local time.
The IRGC said the dozens of ships passed through a distribution route of about 20 percent of global oil and energy supplies under the coordination and security of the IRGC Navy.
Previously, quoted from Al Jazeera, the Iranian Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) published a new map of the Strait of Hormuz on its X account on Wednesday, May 20.
The issuance of the map marks a controlled maritime zone that ships cannot pass without permission.
The authority said the zone extends from Kuh-e Mubarak in Iran to the south of Fujairah, in the United Arab Emirates, at the eastern entrance of the strait, and from the tip of Qeshm Island to Umm al-Quwain at the western entrance.
