An Iranian retaliatory response is expected within the next few hours.
A small Iranian oil tanker was targeted by a missile attack from U.S. military forces, according to a report by the Tasnim news agency.
According to the report, the tanker was located four nautical miles off the Iranian island of Kharg when it was struck by a projectile fired by U.S. forces near the island's anchorage.
Separately, Iran's Fars News Agency reported that the sound of an explosion was heard in Jask, a port city on the Gulf of Oman.
"At around 21:45 tonight, explosions were heard in Jask city. The explosion occurred in two stages, a short distance apart," Fars news agency reported.
Iranian authorities did not immediately provide details on what caused the reported blasts or whether they resulted in casualties or material damage.
Meanwhile, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Ali Abdollahi, on Tuesday warned Tehran would attack U.S. bases in the region if Iranian oil tankers were hit.
