Two explosions were heard early Friday off the coast of Sirik County in southern Iran's Hormozgan province, the country's state-run IRIB news agency reported.
It said the explosions were from the sea and related to the Strait of Hormuz.
There have been no projectile hits or clashes in Sirik so far, it said.
Two blasts were also heard in the port city of Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan, it added.
Meanwhile, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that the explosions around Sirik may relate to Iranian armed forces' response to "a violation during passage through the Strait of Hormuz".
Iran's main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, announced early Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed to all vessels, including oil tankers and commercial ships, due to security threats in the waterway.
In a statement carried by Iranian media, the headquarters cited ongoing U.S. "malicious acts" and attacks earlier in the day on areas in Iran's southern Hormozgan province, warning that any vessel attempting to transit the strait will be targeted.
However, U.S. Central Command denied the strait was closed, saying Wednesday that commercial vessels continue to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy reminded all ships to remain at anchor, not to be misled by the U.S. military into passing through the strait without authorization.
