The bow of a vessel moored at the port of Kuhestak, is damaged following a US military strike earlier in the week on Kuhestak, Sirik County, in Iran's southern Hormozgan province on September 6, 2026. Iran said it hit US military bases in Kuwait and the UAE on September 3, 2026, vowing to avenge a wedding attack it blamed on Washington as the US Vice President said the strike was being investigated. The new clashes, which began with US raids on September 6, 2026, deepened the impasse in the six-month war, as Iran maintains a stranglehold on the strategic Strait of Hormuz and Washington presses its counter-blockade of Iranian ports.

This photograph taken from the southern Lebanese village of al Hanniyeh shows smoke as it rises from the site of an Israeli-controlled explosion in the nearby village of Al-Mansouri on September 6, 2026. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urged Washington and the international community to help stop Israeli attacks after strikes on September 6 killed at least four people despite a truce and an Israel-Lebanon deal. Lebanon was drawn into the wider Middle East war in March after Hezbollah attacked Israel in support of its backer Iran. (Photo by Kawnat HAJU / AFP via Getty Images) /
