Since the Middle East war broke out in February, Iran has been targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and wider Gulf in an effort to assert control over shipping.
"None of the crew members onboard the vessel struck on Friday were injured and there was no environmental impact from the attack," the report said.
