Iran's IRGC Fires at Four Ships in Strait of Hormuz
Iran's naval forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), recently fired at four commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
They did this to make the ships stop and change their route, saying the ships were taking an illegal and unsafe path.
No one was hurt, and the ships weren't badly damaged.
Earlier, a ship called the DISHA, which was carrying Indian crew members, was attacked in Iranian waters.
The Indian Embassy in Iran said all the crew members are safe.
No one has taken responsibility for the attack yet.
These events show that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is getting more tense, especially with the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
Iran's IRGC fired at four commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz over 24 hours.
The ships were allegedly navigating an illegal and unsafe route.
No casualties or significant damage were reported.
A separate attack occurred on the Mozambique-flagged LPG tanker DISHA in Iranian waters.
The DISHA had 28 Indian crew members, all confirmed safe by the Indian Embassy.
