strategic strait and were used by small boats for oil smuggling. He stressed that the Strait of Hormuz is under the complete control of the Iranian armed forces, noting that this situation will continue until Iranian demands are met. In
a related context, maritime navigation reports indicated that the average movement of crude oil exports from the region has witnessed a significant increase, surpassing pre-crisis levels.
