​Iran's Revolutionary ​Guards Navy said ‌on Thursday ​that U.S. attacks on ‌Iran and intervention in redirecting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz were disrupting ‌the strategic waterway's gradual ‌reopening and jeopardizing the interests of countries benefiting from it.

The Guards ⁠added ​that ⁠transit capacity under Iran's supervision had recovered ⁠to about 50% of pre-war ​levels over the past two weeks, ⁠and that transit capacity was ⁠only ​being expanded for vessels granted permits to use routes ⁠designated by Iran.

They warned that any ⁠further ⁠U.S. intervention would draw a "crushing response".
