Iranian media reports that oil tankers have been stopped from passing through the Strait of Hormuz, as Israel hits Lebanon with the "largest attacks" since the start of its ground operation.
Allowing tankers to pass through the strait is a key to a ceasefire between Iran and the US.
But the Fars news agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has reported that while two oil tankers managed to pass through the strait with permission from Iran this morning, the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz has been banned.
The Islamic Republic News Agency also reports that the ships have been stopped, with both media outlets referring to Israel's ongoing attacks on Lebanon.
Shipping broker SSY confirmed to BBC Verify that ships in the Gulf received the following message:
“Attention all ships. Attention all ships. Attention all ships in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman. This is the IRGC Naval Station. Transit through the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and you need permission from the IRGC before sailing through the strait. Any ship attempting to travel to sea will be targeted and destroyed.”
Claire Grierson, head of tanker research at SSY, told BBC Verify that the firm is aware that ship crews have heard this on a radio channel used for international maritime alerts.
