This screen grab made on September 5, 2026 from handout video footage released by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) on X (formerly known as Twitter) shows what CENTCOM says is US military forces striking an Iranian crude oil tanker, M/T Stark 1, off the coast of Jask, Iran in the Gulf of Oman, on September 5, 2026. The US military said on Saturday, September 5, it had struck and destroyed three oil tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after the Iranian military organization fired on American warships. Video posted by CENTCOM showed large fireballs and billowing flames after projectiles slammed into the ships. The three ships targeted were "part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC and its regional proxies," it said.
