IRGC attacks cargo ships in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy attacked two cargo vessels on April 22 as they attempted to exit the Strait of Hormuz. Both ships were operating with their Automatic Identification Systems turned off when they came under fire. The IRGC likely redirected the vessels into Iranian territorial waters, effectively seizing them. This incident represents a direct escalation of Iran's enforcement actions in the critical shipping lane.
