2026 Iran War: September 6 Live Updates

Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command said attacks on US military vessels will increase and the naval fight will widen if Washington keeps its naval blockade and continues targeting Iranian civilian ships. The warning followed US strikes that disabled or destroyed three Iranian oil tankers and Iranian claims of retaliatory hits on US-linked vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command said attacks on US military vessels will increase and naval warfare will widen if Washington keeps the naval blockade and continues targeting Iranian civilian ships. Middle East Spectator and WarMonitors circulated the warning after Saturday's ship-for-ship exchanges in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island.

Iranian state media said the IRGC targeted three US-affiliated vessels and three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz that were using an unauthorized route, hours after US strikes disabled or destroyed three Iranian oil tankers. The BBC said it asked CENTCOM for comment on the Iranian claims. Iranian outlet Irib earlier reported no casualties from the US strike near Kharg Island and said crews from the Gulf of Oman tankers reached shore in lifeboats.
