On July 27, Iran's Revolutionary Guards navy intercepted six vessels attempting to navigate the Strait of Hormuz via unauthorized routes, as reported by state television. The vessels were halted with warning shots and redirected, following an earlier incident involving four other ships. This enforcement comes amid Iran's blockade of the strait since the onset of escalating regional tensions in late February.

TEHRAN, July 27 — Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy stopped six vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz through routes not approved by Iranian authorities, state television reported on Monday.

“Last night, six vessels that attempted to transit through a route other than the designated one were stopped by the IRGC Navy with warning shots and turned back,” a state television correspondent reported from the Gulf.

Earlier state TV said one vessel was involved in an “incident”, without elaborating.

On Saturday, the Guards said they had stopped four vessels attempting to transit through the southern part of the strait after firing warning shots.
