The Iranians are saying that the Americans have attacked civilian boats and killed five civilians, Al Jazeera reports.

They are denying that the boats that the Americans claim to have hit belong to Iran’s IRGC. Rather, they are saying they were civilian boats.

They are also saying that the US destroyers attempted to enter the Strait of Hormuz and their radar was off.

Once the radar was on, they were detected because the naval forces of Iran are monitoring the region, and once they were identified, the Iranian naval forces engaged them, and warning shots were fired.

These warning shots included combat drones, missiles and rockets, and, as a result, they are saying the US destroyers were forced to turn away.

They are also making clear warnings, saying any further attempt by the US naval forces to enter the Strait of Hormuz is going to be regarded as a violation of the ceasefire.
