Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz to vessel traffic, citing alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement by the US and Israel.
Tehran's top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, confirmed the move was the "first step" in response to what it described as breaches of commitments.
Officials warned that further measures would be taken if "aggression" continued.
Reports from Tehran emerged as Vice President JD Vance told Fox News he was confident the ceasefire agreed in Washington's 14-point deal with Tehran would hold, and that he saw no evidence the crucial waterway was closed.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned vessels not to approach the Strait, adding their security would otherwise be at risk.
