IRGC Navy intercepts six vessels in Strait of Hormuz citing navigation violations

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy intercepted and forced six vessels to turn back in the Strait of Hormuz, citing unauthorized route usage. This follows a similar incident involving four ships on Saturday, marking an escalation in maritime enforcement activity in the chokepoint. The frequency of these interceptions suggests a hardening of Iranian maritime control posture in the Gulf.
