The IRGC statement highlighted that only civilian vessels are allowed to cross the strait under specific conditions.
The guards also denied media reports about American vessels passing through the Strait.
Earlier, the Iranian Armed Forces categorically denied CENTCOM’s claim about US ships’ operation in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The claim of the CENTCOM commander that American vessels are approaching and entering the Strait of Hormuz is strongly denied,” spokesman of the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters Ebrahim Zolfaqari said Saturday.
The statement came after CENTCOM claimed its forces began setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz on April 11, and two US Navy guided-missile destroyers conducted operations.
