Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has blocked a vessel from passing through the Strait of Hormuz, enforcing what appears to be a partial blockade. The vessel was denied passage because it did not have permission from Iranian authorities. Iranian media is publishing video of the conversation between the IRGC and the vessel's crew. This incident demonstrates Iran's continued assertion of control over the strategic waterway despite ongoing tensions with the United States.
