    CENTCOM account post:
    'CENTCOM destroyed 3 oil tankers of the Revolutionary Guard after two U.S. Navy warships were targeted by Iran'

    Machine translation:
    Tampa, Florida — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on September 5 targeted three oil tankers carrying Iranian crude oil after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy warships patrolling the waters in the region.

    An American aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer successfully evaded several unprovoked attacks from Iran. No American forces were harmed.

    Following Iran's unsuccessful attacks, CENTCOM permanently disabled the oil tankers of the Revolutionary Guard, M/T Downy near the coast of Khark Island and M/T Stark 1 near Jask. U.S. forces also completely destroyed the empty tanker M/T Kylo (also known as "Noxen") in the Sea of Oman; this vessel was targeted at several critical points to render it unusable after the crew was ordered to abandon ship.

    These three Iranian tankers are part of a multi-billion-dollar shadow network that finances the Revolutionary Guard and its regional proxy forces. Iran has no means to defend them.
    Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, stated: "The message to the Revolutionary Guard should be clear: If you fire at our two ships, we will impose an even heavier economic cost on you — we will destroy three of your ships. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, we will destroy Iran's limited and vulnerable oil fleet."

    "The message to the Revolutionary Guard must be clear: If you fire at two of our ships, we will impose an even heavier economic cost on you — we will destroy three of your ships. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, we will destroy Iran's limited and vulnerable oil fleet." — Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM

    Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense:
    It's simple: If Iran fires at U.S. ships, we will destroy (and sink) its tankers. All they have to do is stop firing at @USNavy.

    Iran's fleet of tankers is defenseless — Iran has neither a navy nor an air force. Our planes, ships, and submarines can target all of them, within the areas of @CENTCOM and @USPACOM.
    PeteHegseth

    The Islamic Republic's state news agency has reported that the crew of the two tankers attacked by the U.S. today "were transferred to shore by lifeboats."
    According to this report, one of the tankers was "empty and the other was carrying a cargo of oil."

    The price of the dollar in Iran's free market reached 228,000 tomans on Saturday, September 14, with the euro also surpassing 263,000 tomans.

    Websites displaying unofficial currency rates in Iran have also reported the price of the British pound at 307,000 tomans and the UAE dirham at over 62,000 tomans.

    This renewed increase occurred just one day after Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, denied a serious shortage of currency for imports and attributed the severe decline of Iran's national currency to an increase in "precautionary, speculative demand, and capital outflow."

    At the beginning of September, the dollar price crossed the 200,000 tomans mark and has been continuously rising over the past two weeks.

    Meanwhile, Hemmati stated last week that Iran has "sufficient" currency available and that the Central Bank is ready to inject up to two billion dollars into the market if needed, but these remarks have not prevented the continued rise in currency rates.

    On Friday, September 4, the U.S. State Department announced its approval for the sale of $5 billion worth of bombs, guidance kits, and other military equipment to Saudi Arabia.

    The department stated that this sale would enhance Saudi Arabia's air defense capabilities to address current and future regional threats and further align the country's equipment with the systems of U.S. forces and other Washington partners in the Gulf.

    Since the onset of the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran, Saudi Arabia has repeatedly been targeted by missile and drone attacks from Iranian forces and Tehran-backed Houthis in Yemen.

    The U.S. State Department has informed Congress about this deal; the sale still requires approval from American lawmakers to be finalized.

    Iranian media have reported hearing several explosions near Khark Island, Iran's main oil export terminal, and the targeting of a small Iranian oil tanker.

    The Tasnim news agency reported that this oil tanker was "targeted" on Saturday morning, September 14, six miles off Khark Island and within the anchorage area.

    Tasnim states that this targeting was carried out "with four projectiles from American forces."

    According to local sources, this incident did not result in any casualties, and the crew is in the process of evacuating the tanker. The Asr Iran website also reported the impact of four projectiles on this vessel.

    Fars news agency had previously announced that the sounds of explosions were heard from the Persian Gulf area, but no signs of smoke were observed, and the source of the sounds remains unclear.

    Noor News also reported, citing local sources, a "missile attack by the U.S. on an Iranian oil tanker," but labeled it as unconfirmed. The Student News Agency has also released a video that it claims is related to the targeted oil tanker.

    Artin Khavayounia, a 16-year-old computer student, was shot dead by live ammunition during protests outside the governor's office in Qods city, Qaleh Hassan Khan, on January 8, 2025.

    Artin's mother has released a video of collecting her son's shoes; shoes from different stages of his life that now remain as mementos.

    The mother of this slain teenager wrote: "I go through every step of yours, my heroic son. From every moment of your growth, now only memories remain for me that pass before my eyes every second."
    "From that beautiful baby in the yellow outfit in my arms to that tall man for whom I had to lift my head to see, you will always remain the symbol of my motherhood."

    The United States, along with Britain, France, and Germany, is working to have the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) pass a resolution next week that would report Iran's nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council for the first time in 20 years.

    Reuters reported on Friday, September 4, citing diplomats and referring to the proposed resolution text, that the four countries are consulting with other members of the 35-member Board of Governors of the IAEA to approve this resolution.

    Negotiations on the final text are still ongoing, and the draft has not yet been officially submitted to the Board of Governors. According to a draft seen by Reuters, the Board of Governors will ask the IAEA Director General to send the new resolution and previous resolutions related to Iran's nuclear program to the agency's members, the Security Council, and the UN General Assembly.

    The proposed text also reiterates the request for Iran to "immediately" address its violations of its safeguards agreement and to take actions deemed necessary by the IAEA and the Board of Governors so that the Director General can provide the necessary assurance regarding the accuracy and completeness of Iran's nuclear declarations.

    The actions of the U.S., Britain, France, and Germany continue the resolution passed by the Board of Governors on June 12, 2025. In that resolution, Iran was recognized as having violated its non-proliferation obligations due to its lack of full cooperation with the IAEA's investigations into uranium traces at undeclared sites.

    One day after the passage of that resolution, on June 13, 2025, Israel began attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, and the United States subsequently joined the operations. According to Reuters, Iran's uranium enrichment facilities were destroyed or severely damaged in these attacks.

    Since these attacks, Iran has not allowed IAEA inspectors to return to the bombed facilities or to verify the status of the remaining enriched uranium stocks. Over the past year, the Board of Governors has passed two additional resolutions, calling on the Iranian government to declare its enriched uranium inventory and to provide full access for IAEA inspectors to verify it.

    The IAEA has estimated that prior to the attacks on its nuclear facilities, Iran possessed 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent. According to the agency's criteria, with further enrichment, this amount could be sufficient to produce fissile material for about 10 nuclear weapons. The agency has deemed Iran's 60 percent enrichment level as "a serious concern."

    Iran claims it does not intend to produce nuclear weapons and considers its nuclear activities to be peaceful. As a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Iran has the right to peaceful use of nuclear technology, including uranium enrichment; however, the agency states that Iran is the only government that has enriched uranium to 60 percent without possessing nuclear weapons.

    Reuters has reported that in recent years, whenever the U.S., Britain, France, and Germany have presented a draft resolution regarding Iran's nuclear program to the Board of Governors, that resolution has been approved. However, practical action by the Security Council against Iran may face obstacles; Russia and China, which are considered allies of the Iranian government, are permanent members of the Security Council and have veto power.

    Iran's representation at the UN in Vienna stated that the actions of the U.S., Britain, France, and Germany are a sign of the "complete failure of the illusion of the snapback mechanism." This representation added that this action will bring "no benefit" to these countries.

    The ministry added that the success of the Qatari armed forces in intercepting attacks from the Islamic Republic does not diminish the danger of these attacks.

    The Qatari Foreign Ministry also wrote in this statement that it is "regrettable" that despite the official documentation of the attack on Ras Laffan, the occurrence of this attack is being questioned.

    The United States has sanctioned a bank based in Turkey and two of its affiliated companies for facilitating the transfer of tens of millions of dollars to the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and providing the Islamic Republic with access to the international banking network.

    On Friday, September 4, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that "Golden Global Bank" and its two subsidiaries, "Golden Global Warlick Kiralama" and "Golden Global Portföy Yönetimi," have been added to the sanctions list as part of an "economic exclusion" operation. All three entities are based in Turkey.

    The U.S. Treasury Department also stated on its official account on the social media platform "X" that this action is part of the "economic exclusion" operation aimed at cutting off the Islamic Republic's "vital financial arteries" in Turkey. According to the department, Golden Global Bank and its affiliated companies have facilitated tens of millions of dollars in transactions for the Quds Force and provided significant access to brokerage banking services for the Islamic Republic; access that enables the international movement of the Iranian government's financial resources.

    Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, referred to the Trump administration's campaign to cut off the Islamic Republic's financial resources, stating that financial institutions continue to realize that the United States is serious about implementing the "economic exclusion" operation.

    He added that the U.S. hopes that more banks will not need to be sanctioned, but this depends on the international community quickly stopping its support for the Iranian government. Mr. Basset also emphasized that the United States, along with its allies and partners, will continue actions against the financial networks of the Islamic Republic.

    According to the U.S. Treasury Department, Golden Global Bank was established to facilitate the transfer of the Islamic Republic's oil revenues from China to Turkey; revenues that could be converted into cash and gold after being transferred to Turkey.

    The Treasury Department states that this bank has also knowingly offered brokerage banking services to financial institutions of the Islamic Republic, thereby enabling transactions through accounts controlled by the Quds Force and its affiliated networks.

    The Treasury Department's announcement also referenced the network of "Sitki Ayan," a Turkish businessman. The United States had previously sanctioned this network in 2022 due to its role in transferring hundreds of millions of dollars in oil revenues related to the Quds Force.

    Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, wrote on the social media platform X on Friday, September 4, that since the re-establishment of the U.S. blockade, no Iranian crude oil shipment has successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz to reach China. He added that crude oil is piling up on ships trapped inside the strait, and there is no possibility of replacing exported reserves. Basset wrote: "Iran's vital export route is being cut off; stranded oil, limited storage capacity, and rapidly declining revenues."

    The Financial Times reported on Friday, September 4, that the disputes between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have increasingly focused on the future of the Strait of Hormuz; as the Donald Trump administration has rejected a return to the Islamabad memorandum, while Tehran is seeking to revive this agreement as a basis for reducing tensions and resuming oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

    According to the report, diplomatic efforts to bring the parties back to the Islamabad memorandum, which included halting military actions, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and starting broader negotiations, have faced opposition from Washington. The U.S. is now seeking a new and more comprehensive agreement that includes not only the status of the Strait of Hormuz but also Iran's nuclear file.

    In response, Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that his country is ready to fulfill its commitments as soon as the U.S. returns to its obligations under the temporary agreement.

    However, Washington is relying on military pressure and, by strengthening its military presence, conducting mine clearance, and creating secure routes, is trying to demonstrate that Iran can no longer use the Strait of Hormuz as a leverage point in the energy market.

    The price of diesel in the United States has reached a new record of over five and a half dollars per gallon.

    The American Automobile Association announced on Friday, September 4, that the price of diesel in the country has currently reached five dollars and 85 cents per gallon, while a year ago it was three dollars and 71 cents.

    One gallon is approximately 3.8 liters.

    The association attributed this price increase to disruptions in fuel transportation due to the U.S. war with Iran.

    Diesel is considered a vital fuel used in road transportation, agriculture, and construction, and there are concerns that its significant price increase may raise the inflation rate.
    The price of regular gasoline in the U.S. is also four dollars and 15 cents per gallon.

    Messages I received yesterday:

    ▪️ The PTE language test for residents of Iran has been canceled.

    ▪️ Pearson has also canceled all its tests for residents of Iran. They posted an announcement on the website this morning all of a sudden. The most notable ones for Iranians are the medical exam cancellation for Australia and the Ministry of Health of Oman, as well as the PTE language test.

    ▪️ A group of us doctors were trying to immigrate to Australia, and our exam cost was $3,000. Now it has been canceled without any specific explanation. Friends had booked hotels and flights to go to India to take the exam, and now they are saying it can't be done; you need to provide residency cards from another country.

    News:
    The British institution "Pearson," which conducts the PTE English language test and the AMC (Australian Medical Council) exam, announced in a statement that due to new U.S. sanctions against Iran, it will cancel the exams for candidates residing in Iran.

    Earlier, on September 7, 2026, several other organizers of foreign language proficiency tests, including Duolingo and TOEFL, announced that these tests would no longer be held in Iran.

    In its announcement regarding the cancellation of the PTE exam, Pearson stated: "Following the suspension of 'General License G' by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the U.S. Department of the Treasury, from 12:00 AM on September 8, 2026, Eastern Time, we will not be able to schedule or conduct exams for candidates residing in Iran until further notice, unless they can provide proof of their primary residency outside of Iran."

    The announcement continues: "Exams currently scheduled for candidates subject to this restriction will be canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused them."

    The fate of many students intending to immigrate for the purpose of continuing their studies in European countries, the U.S., North America, and Australia will be affected by these actions.

    On Thursday, September 12, the New York Post reported, citing a senior regional official, that Oman has rejected the Islamic Republic's proposal to jointly charge commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz for services.

    The official stated that Muscat has not even agreed to voluntarily collect fees for environmental and security services from the ships.

    An American official also told the New York Post that the terms of the proposed agreement between the Islamic Republic and Oman for revenue sharing have not been finalized.

    These remarks come as Hossein Mohibi, a spokesperson for the Revolutionary Guards, had previously announced that Tehran and Muscat had reached an agreement on this matter.

    Reuters reported on July 29 that Oman had presented a plan, supported by Gulf countries, to the Islamic Republic, under which the management of the Strait of Hormuz would be conducted regionally, and shipping companies could voluntarily pay amounts to cover navigation, environmental protection, and search and rescue operations. Oman had previously opposed mandatory fees from vessels passing through this waterway.

    ▪️ "If you look at Turkey, Azerbaijan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and many of the Arab Gulf coalition countries... there are many countries."

    ▪️ "Sometimes they are not willing to say it publicly, but they are doing a lot of good things behind the scenes to help us ensure that the Iranians pay a price for shooting at commercial shipping."

    ▪️ "This also takes away the economic resources necessary for them to rebuild their nuclear program."

    ▪️ "So far, we haven't seen them try to do such a thing."

    Vance: I am skeptical about the possibility of U.S. involvement in the attack on the wedding ceremony in Sirik

    🔸The U.S. Vice President says investigations into the "claim of an attack on a wedding ceremony" in southern Iran are ongoing.

    🔸J.D. Vance, who answered reporters' questions at the White House on Thursday, September 12, stated in response to a question on this matter: We do not yet have enough information, but the U.S. military "unlike the Revolutionary Guard" never targets civilians; however, there may sometimes be "mistakes."

    🔸The former aide to Donald Trump further stated: The important point is that even in the event of a mistake, the U.S. armed forces "still unlike the Revolutionary Guard," learn from their mistakes to prevent such errors from happening again.

    🔸Vance ultimately emphasized that investigations are ongoing and information is still incomplete, expressing that he is personally "skeptical" about the possibility of U.S. involvement in this incident.

    🔸According to Iranian officials, during the U.S. attack on a wedding ceremony in Kohestak Sirik near the Strait of Hormuz on the evening of September 10, four people, including a child, were killed and dozens were injured.

    🔸The U.S. Department of Defense has stated that it has been investigating the incident since March 9, 2025, regarding the attack on a girls' elementary school in Minab, but more than six months after the incident and despite pressure from Congress, it has not yet been willing to release the results of the investigation.

    🔸Officials of the Islamic Republic claim that during the attack on the Shajareh Tayebeh school, over a hundred students, teachers, and family members of the students were killed.

    Forwarded from channel 1098179827

    📝 What do we know about the attack on the wedding ceremony in Sirik?

    🔹Simultaneously with the U.S. airstrikes on Sirik County on the night of September 1, 2026, an explosion destroyed a house in the port of Kuhestak where a wedding ceremony was taking place. According to published reports, five people have died so far, including a four-year-old child, and 65 others were injured.

    🔹Images from the scene, the sound of several explosions in the CCTV footage, CENTCOM's statement, and the lack of denial of the attack by the spokesperson of this entity strengthen the attribution of the attacks that night to the U.S.

    🔹At the same time, social media claimed that the explosion of the house was the result of a "failed missile launch by the IRGC"; however, no official reports or credible evidence have confirmed this claim so far.

    🔹Some accounts have shared old or unrelated videos to support this claim. The only similar report regarding a failed IRGC launch that night pertains to Khomein in Markazi Province and has no connection to Sirik in southern Iran.

    🔹Despite the evidence of a U.S. attack on Sirik, it is still unclear exactly what projectile struck the house where the wedding was being held.

    🔹Meanwhile, the CCTV footage captures the sound of a drone, and the bride's father also mentions hearing the sound of drones in a video interview; evidence that strengthens the possibility of simultaneous use of missiles and drones in the operation.

    🔹Additionally, pieces of the SLAM-ER cruise missile have been seen in the area, but the level of destruction of the house does not seem consistent with the complete detonation of the missile's 360-kilogram warhead.

    🔹It is possible that the house was targeted with smaller munitions (for example, the Lucas drone with a warhead of about 18 kilograms), and the SLAM-ER parts may relate to another impact in the same vicinity (a telecommunications tower approximately 130 meters away).

    For those treasonous scum who refuse to report accurately on our military operations in Iran: We have virtually unlimited amounts of medium to high-quality munitions at our disposal; far more than we could use in this war or any other war—which is highly unlikely to occur! Additionally, we are producing munitions at an unprecedented level. We are stockpiling and preparing for any potential situation that may arise. We are keeping this munitions for ourselves, the United States of America, instead of selling them to others; however, sales to allies will soon resume.

    Also, please let everyone know that the Biden administration has provided far more munitions completely free of charge to Ukraine than we have used in Iran. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been given to Ukraine and NATO without any cost; money that Europe would have been willing to pay for—if only they had been asked. But we will demand that money, albeit with a slight delay!

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    President Donald J. Trump

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, shared an image on the social media platform Truth Social, comparing the total volume of oil and liquid gas that passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the war with the current amount, stating: "The volume of Hormuz oil has returned!"

    In this image, Trump estimated the total volume of oil and liquid gas passing through the Strait of Hormuz before the war to be about 20 million barrels per day, while currently reporting the volume of these liquids at 18 million barrels.

    Meanwhile, the global tanker tracking system reported that the average volume of oil and liquid gas passing through last month was 7.54 million barrels per day. According to this system's data, the maximum volume passed in a single day was 10 million barrels.

    "Amir Ali Ghanbarzadeh, a player of the youth team of the Pas Basketball Academy, was killed on January 9, 2025, in Garmdareh, Alborz Province.

    His mother shared this video and wrote:
    'My dear Amir Ali, my heart aches for you so much, your place is so empty for mom.
    Joy will be taken to the grave by those who created suffering in us.
    We mothers neither forgive nor forget.'

    Amir Ali Ghanbarzadeh was moving ahead of others during the protests, with his arms open to protect others.
    In that moment, he lost his life after being hit by three bullets to the head."

    Israel Katz, the Israeli Defense Minister, announced during the Rosh Hashanah ceremony with Defense Ministry staff on Thursday, September 12, that an attack by the Islamic Republic on this country would free Israel from all limitations, and that it would even target energy infrastructure.

    The Defense Minister stated: "We will target all national infrastructure, military and civilian, including energy infrastructure, and we will return Iran to the depths of the Stone Age and darkness."

    Katz also added: "Economic pressure and concerns about uprising and the fall of the regime may drive the Islamic Republic to desperate actions."

    He said: "The Ayatollah regime in Iran knows very well why, after we dealt them two heavy blows, destroyed their nuclear program, killed Khamenei, and severely damaged their strategic capabilities, they do not attack Israel."

    Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor-in-chief of Kayhan newspaper, wrote in a note on Thursday, September 12, that the army and the IRGC should use the "lever" of international fiber optic cables passing through the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to "counter the U.S. and its allies."

    The editor-in-chief of Kayhan newspaper wrote: "Deep in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz lies one of the international fiber optic highways. A highway through which the majority of internet communications, international calls, banking transactions, cloud services (iCloud), and even artificial intelligence communications and data centers pass."

    Hossein Shariatmadari, Khamenei's representative at Kayhan newspaper, emphasized: "This is a message to the country's officials, especially to the army and the IRGC; look closely! The global internet cables wave at us from beneath the waters of the Strait of Hormuz and the always Persian Gulf, speaking in a thousand languages, asking why you have forgotten our role in this war?"
