DOHA, March 4. /TASS/. Iran permitted two ships of friendly countries to pass via the Strait of Hormuz, a spokesperson of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said.
"We hit two tankers on the first day of war, on the second day - several ships the US induced to go through the Strait of Hormuz and support them. The ships breaching Iran’s rules when passing through the Strait of Hormuz were engaged. No traffic via the Strait of Hormuz takes place from the fourth day of war. On the third day, only two vessels authorized and approved by Iran as vessels of friendly countries received the permit to pass," he said, cited by Mehr news agency.
