The incident comes amid growing international calls for an investigation into an earlier US missile strike on a girls' school in Minab in southern Iran.
That attack reportedly killed at least 170 people, most of them students.

IRGC criticises Trump
Earlier, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it would determine the end of military operations against American and Israel targets, rejecting claims by US President Donald Trump that the conflict was nearing its end.
The IRGC also accused Trump of using 'cunning and deceit' to shape public opinion and alleged that US military assets had moved more than 1,000 kilometres away from the region after Iranian strikes, including missile fire at the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Iran further warned it could block oil exports to hostile nations, escalating tensions around the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Trump had earlier warned that any attempt by Iran to disrupt oil shipments through the waterway would invite retaliation 'twenty times harder'.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts are under way to contain the crisis.
Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly discussed possible diplomatic solutions with Trump, while French President Emmanuel Macron said France and its allies are preparing a defensive mission to secure shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
The escalation comes shortly after Mojtaba Khamenei was selected to succeed his late father as Iran's supreme leader, amid rising global oil prices.
