Rezaei noted that around 30 ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz each day and said Iran is prepared to accommodate even higher levels of maritime traffic.
He also claimed that the United States has been preventing the movement of some vessels that were scheduled to travel along pre-determined sea routes.
