The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, has confirmed that three Iranian oil tankers and two ships carrying essential goods had crossed through the US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
IRGC stated this on Tuesday noting that the lifting of the
blockade had become operational.
This came a few hours after the US military said in an
advisory note that the blockade of Iranian ports remains in effect pending the
signing of a memorandum of understanding with Iran scheduled for June 19.
Recall that the US had imposed a naval blockade
on the Strait of Hormuz in April, preventing ships traveling to and from
Iranian ports from transiting the waterway.
Iran, the United States and Pakistan announced early Monday
the finalisation of the MoU on ending the war, following weeks of negotiations,
which would be officially signed on Friday in Switzerland.
Following the announcement, US President Donald Trump
ordered the lifting of the anti-Iran naval blockade.
