Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval forces stated on Wednesday that commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has recovered to half of its pre-war volume, marking a tentative step toward normalizing one of the world's most vital energy corridors.
Despite the reported increase in throughput, the IRGC accused the United States of actively disrupting the gradual resumption of operations.
Iranian naval officials claimed that US interference in determining movement routes is "seriously disrupting" the process, suggesting that geopolitical friction continues to cap the strait's capacity well below historical norms.
The development arrives against a backdrop of diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region.
Recent reports indicated that Iran had formally agreed to guarantee free transit through the strait as part of broader negotiations with Washington.
Analysts had previously projected that tanker traffic could surge to nearly 50% of prewar levels within a month if the diplomatic agreement were implemented without major setbacks.
