Iran has attacked three ships in the Strait of Hormuz and seized two, days after vowing retaliation for the US intercepting an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf as part of its naval blockade.
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said the ship, Touska, was seized by the US Navy after failing to respond to warnings to stop.
Iran said this was a violation of the ceasefire and it would retaliate soon for the "act of armed piracy".
On Wednesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said it was "monitoring" movements through the Strait of Hormuz and has pledged "firm" action against the "violators".
