The Islamic regime fired at four ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday night, state media site IRIB reported.

The broadcaster alleged the ships attempted the journey to enter the Persian Gulf “without coordination with the security forces” at 12:35 am local time.

"They were warned, but after they ignored the warning, warning shots were fired at them, forcing them to return,” the report added.

The incident comes after the Islamic regime began attempting to assert authority over the key waterway, demanding ships pay a fee for “navigational” and “environmental services to circumvent legal restrictions on charging a toll.

Under Articles 38 and 44 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, bordering Iran and Oman cannot suspend, impede, or charge tolls for vessels passing through the Strait, though the legislation permits countries to charge fees for services provided, security analyst Roger Macmillan previously explained to The Jerusalem Post.
