Iran's navy has also said it prevented US warships from entering the Strait of Hormuz, state TV reported.

It comes as Donald Trump revealed the US would start guiding ships "safely" out of the key waterway.

He referred to the move as a "humanitarian gesture" as many of the vessels were running low on food.

However, Iran argues this is considered "a violation of the ceasefire" as it vowed to protect the strait "with full strength"

President Trump said the US were launching "Project Freedom" on Sunday night.

Warships, drones, 15,000 troops, guided-missile destroyers and more than 100 land and carrier-based aircraft would be supplied to guide vessels through the waterway.
