Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Tuesday they had warned US navy vessels after Washington said it had fired warning shots at Iranian attack boats which buzzed them in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Revolutionary Guards' navy confirmed it had encountered seven US vessels on Monday and said it warned them "while maintaining the legal distance... against their risky and unprofessional behaviour, after which they continued on their way".
