Iranian Forces Fire Warning Shots at Vessels in the Strait of Hormuz
Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported that naval security forces fired warning shots at four ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz without coordination. The incident occurred shortly after midnight on May 28, forcing the vessels to turn back. This naval confrontation comes as the U.S. and Iran are reportedly nearing a tentative 60-day ceasefire extension, though President Trump has yet to approve the memorandum of understanding following a week of localized missile exchanges.
