Yes, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency. On Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, Tasnim reported that U.S. forces struck an Iranian tanker with four missiles near the anchorage at Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil-export hub in the Persian Gulf, and that the crew was being evacuated with no casualties reported.
There was no immediate official confirmation from Iranian authorities, and U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Kharg Island previously handled about 90% of Iran’s crude exports before wartime disruptions and the U.S. blockade of Iranian oil shipments.
