A ship contracted by the US Navy has fired warning shots in the direction of two unidentified speedboats in the Gulf, US military officials say.

The incident took place in international waters dozens of miles from the Iranian coast, the US said.
In January, the US said speedboats from Iran had harassed US Navy ships in the Gulf - Iran denied issuing threats.

The speedboats withdrew soon after the warning shots were fired.
