Iran's state television reported on Tuesday, August 5, that the Revolutionary Guard prevented six ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz with the intention of leaving the Persian Gulf early that day.

The IRIB news agency wrote on its Telegram channel: "In the early hours of Tuesday, August 5, six violating vessels, by turning off their navigation and positioning systems... intended to pass through the illegal and unsafe route south of the Strait of Hormuz."

This news refers to the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz near the shores of Oman, which has stated that it adheres to international laws for the use of waterways. In contrast, Iran insists that ships must navigate through the route designated by the Revolutionary Guard.

The IRIB news agency also mentioned that one of these six ships "has encountered an incident," but so far no other sources have confirmed this news.

On Sunday, the Tasnim news agency, close to the Revolutionary Guard, claimed that an oil tanker exploded in the Strait of Hormuz after colliding with a naval mine.
