Iran forces fired at 4 ships attempting to cross Hormuz — state broadcaster

Iranian forces fired at four ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz, state broadcaster IRIB reports hours after Washington carried out fresh strikes on southern Iran.

“Four vessels attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz and enter the Persian Gulf without coordination with the security forces,” IRIB posts on Telegram, saying the incident took place at around 12:35 am local time (2105 GMT Wednesday) but without providing details on the ships.

“They were warned, but after they ignored the warning, warning shots were fired at them, forcing them to return,” it adds.
