Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy said it fired warning shots at four vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a post on an IRGC-affiliated Telegram account, APA reports citing CNN.
The vessels were reportedly trying to pass through the waterway “without prior coordination or authorization,” the post added.
The IRGC said the “exchange of fire” was the source of explosions, according to air defense reports.
