Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) say they have closed the Strait of Hormuz until further notice after firing a warning shot at a commercial vessel they said was using an unapproved route.

The IRGC said no ships would be allowed to transit the strategic waterway until what it described as "the end of US interference in the region." It also warned Washington against responding to the incident.

The announcement follows recent attacks on commercial shipping and heightened tensions between Iran and the United States.
