The ship reportedly struck a mine and caught fire, according to a statement broadcast on Iranian state television on Wednesday.
Also on Tuesday, three tankers reportedly caught fire in the disputed strait, according to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Iran has restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz since the war with the United States and Israel broke out in February. The United States has responded by blockading Iranian ports.
Iran has recently claimed several times that tankers have struck mines in the strait.
