17:31Now PlayingThe US has intercepted an Iranian ship entering the Gulf as part of its naval blockade, US President Donald Trump has said.
Iran said it was a violation of the ceasefire and it would retaliate soon for an "act of armed piracy".
Ahead of Wednesday's ceasefire deadline, the next phase of peace talks is now uncertain.
Meanwhile, a US delegation headed by Vice-President JD Vance will travel to Pakistan "soon", a source told the BBC - but no timings are confirmed.
But Iran says it has "no plans for the next round" of negotiations in Islamabad.
The BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC's Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.
