Iranian state-linked media report that warning shots were fired hours ago at vessels described as "law-breaking" in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the report posted by a major Israeli news channel.

Iranian state-linked media claim that warning shots were fired earlier today at vessels described as "law-breaking" in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report carried by N12 and attributed to Iranian outlets. The report provides no further details on the vessels' nationality, identity, or any damage or casualties.
The report follows a series of unverified Iranian claims over recent days, including assertions of warning shots at US vessels, cruise missile launches, and attacks on ships attempting to transit the waterway. As The Zioneer has previously reported (background items, June 11-13), these accounts have come from single Iranian sources and remained unconfirmed by independent or Western authorities.
The account is based on a single source and remains preliminary until corroborated.
