Iran's military forces discharged warning shots in the direction of four vessels operating in violation of regulations near the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports from the Mehr news agency.

The incident involved vessels that were reportedly not complying with established maritime protocols in the strategically important waterway. The warning fire was directed at the non-compliant ships as they transited the area.
