According to the report, the missile fire occurred after the U.S. military struck the tanker. The account was carried by Iran's state media on Thursday. No further details on casualties, damage or the precise location within the strait were provided in the broadcast report.
U.S. Shipping companies and maritime authorities typically monitor the Strait of Hormuz closely because roughly one-fifth of global oil trade passes through the waterway.
The reported exchange comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran. Previous incidents in the strait have involved seizures of vessels and exchanges of accusations between the two countries.
