since May 13, state television reported on<br \/>\nThursday, amid continued maritime tensions in the strategic waterway.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcaster quoted an official from the naval<br \/>\nbranch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as saying that Iran\u2019s<br \/>\nposition toward \u201chostile ships\u201d remains unchanged and that such vessels would<br \/>\nnot be permitted to transit the Strait.<\/p>\n<p>Semi-official Fars News Agency, citing an informed<br \/>\nsource, also indicated that Tehran approved the passage of several Chinese<br \/>\nvessels through the waterway under arrangements coordinated between Chinese<br \/>\nForeign Minister Wang Yi and Beijing\u2019s ambassador to Tehran, Cong Peiwu.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg <a

\/>\nhad crossed the Strait since Sunday, noting that some vessels remain within<br \/>\nareas affected by the US naval blockade.<\/p>\n<p>The United States and Iran continue to impose maritime<br \/>\nrestrictions in the Strait, with the US Navy preventing vessels from entering<br \/>\nor departing Iranian ports while Iran maintains limits on commercial traffic<br \/>\nthrough the strategic waterway, which carries around 20% of global oil<br \/>\nsupplies.<\/p>\n<p>US Central Command (CENTCOM) <a
