Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until US intervention in the region ends.
The IRGC said that Iranian forces had been forced to strike a vessel attempting to transit the strait via an unauthorized route with its systems turned off, thus stopping it.
"The Strait of Hormuz is closed until further notice until US intervention in the region ends. No vessel will be allowed to pass," Press TV quoted the IRGC's statement.
