It said the ship tried to run its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran has vowed to retaliate.
It comes as concerns grew that the ceasefire between the US and Iran may not hold, and talks between the two sides in Pakistan are now in jeopardy as Iran said it is rejecting the discussions.
The US military said it had also fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo ship as it headed towards a port on Sunday, disabling its engines.
