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.
