Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced a major shift in its naval operations, vowing to guarantee safe passage for international shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Navy claims that new procedures are being implemented to ensure the security of vessels transiting the waterway, which is a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies. The move comes as a response to growing concerns over maritime safety in the region, where a series of incidents, including hijackings and attacks, have raised tensions between Iran and Western powers. As the global community closely watches the development, the IRGC's assurance is seen as a significant step towards de-escalating the situation.
