Yes. U.S. Central Command said its forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers on September 8, 2026, after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the prior two days. CENTCOM said the warship evaded the attacks and that no American personnel were harmed.
The vessels named were M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T Horizon 1, and M/T Riesco in the Gulf of Oman, plus M/T Derya near Kharg Island. American forces directed the crews to abandon ship before the tankers were struck and rendered inoperable.
