A number of explosions were reportedly heard on the coast outside the town of Sirik around midnight local time in Sweden. According to Iran's state television and radio company IRIB, the explosions are linked to the operation in which the ship was stopped.
On Thursday night, Iran claimed that the strait had been closed to traffic in response to US attacks on the country. US President Donald Trump later warned of a new wave of attacks on Friday night, but then dismissed the threat, saying that discussions had been held with Iran and that a memorandum of understanding between the countries was underway.
