🇮🇷🇮🇳 - Reuters and TankerTrackers both report two vessels were fired upon by Iranian gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz, not one. Both belonged to India, and were forced to turn back.

These messages were not sent by Iran. Marisks believes that one of the vessels that believed they had clearance to pass the Strait, which was later fired upon by Iran, was a victim of this Scam.
