Reports indicate warning shots were fired in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian journalist Ilia Hashemi. Radio communications show the IRGC warning all vessels: "Do not approach the Strait of Hormuz." The report comes from a single source and remains preliminary.
Iranian journalist Ilia Hashemi reports that warning shots were fired in the Strait of Hormuz area, accompanied by radio broadcasts from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ordering all vessels not to approach the strategic waterway. This follows weeks of escalating tensions in the strait, which The Zioneer previously reported on — including IRGC warning shots at US and unidentified vessels, a missile launch at a ship attempting to transit the strait, and an IRGC declaration of closure. The current report is from a single source and remains unverified by additional channels. It is unclear which vessels were warned and whether any vessel was targeted directly.
