Both missed. Nobody aboard either ship was hurt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The answer arrived within hours, and it was not aimed at a radar site or a missile battery. A mixed package of <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/air-forces\/united-states-air-force\/\">US Air Force<\/a> and US Navy fighters and drones went after three Iranian crude oil carriers. Two were left permanently disabled. The third, running empty, was hit repeatedly until it was gone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is a deliberate shift. For most of this war, American aircraft have hit Iranian military hardware. On 5 September 2026 they started hitting Iran&rsquo;s wallet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;margin:24px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>What:<\/strong> US strikes on three Iranian crude oil carriers<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>When:<\/strong> Saturday 5 September 2026<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Trigger:<\/strong> IRGC ballistic missile attack on a US aircraft carrier and a destroyer; both missed, no US casualties<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> A mix of US Air Force and US Navy fighters and drones, according to officials cited by Air &amp; Space Forces Magazine<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Targets:<\/strong> M\/T Downy off Kharg Island and M\/T Stark 1 near Jask, both permanently disabled; a third, unladen carrier destroyed in the Gulf of Oman<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Warning:<\/strong> CENTCOM says the crew of the third tanker was told to abandon ship before the strike<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Context:<\/strong> The war began with US and Israeli strikes on 28 February 2026<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Three tankers, three locations<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>US Central Command named two of the ships. The M\/T Downy was struck off Kharg Island, the terminal in the northern Persian Gulf through which Iran exports the large majority of its crude. The M\/T Stark 1 was hit near Jask, on the coast east of the Strait of Hormuz. Both were described as permanently disabled rather than sunk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The third carrier was empty and was hit in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM says it was struck in multiple places, rendered inoperable and completely destroyed. In footage released by the command, the vessel is identified as the M\/T Kylo. The command also says the Iranian crew was warned to abandon ship before the strike went in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Iranian state television gave its own version of the Kharg Island attack, reporting that four American missiles hit a tanker roughly ten kilometres from the island.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/kharg-island-iran-oil-terminal.jpg\" alt=\"Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Kharg Island, the terminal through which Iran exports most of its crude oil.

The IRGC said it had responded in kind, claiming attacks on three oil tankers transiting what it described as an unauthorised route through the Strait of Hormuz, plus three vessels it links to the United States elsewhere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why this is an air power story<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Hitting a moving merchant ship at sea is not trivial. It requires persistent surveillance to find and identify the hull, a weapon that can disable a vessel without necessarily sinking it, and enough loiter time to strike the same target in several places. That combination is exactly what a carrier air wing plus armed unmanned aircraft delivers, and it is why the package was mixed rather than purely fast-jet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/us-navy-f-a-18e-super-hornet-launch-arabian-sea.jpg\" alt=\"A US Navy F\/A-18E Super Hornet launches from a carrier flight deck in the Arabian Sea\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Carrier aviation has done most of the American flying in this war.

The US has already lost a significant share of its MQ-9 Reaper fleet in operations against Iran, and the Air Force said this week it is accelerating a cheaper replacement drone at a target price of around $10 million a copy. Missions like Saturday&rsquo;s are precisely the sort of work that burns through attritable aircraft.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Where this goes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The wider picture is grim. Fighting resumed about a week ago after roughly a month of relative calm. At least five people were killed earlier in the week in a US bombardment of southern Iran, including a strike that hit a wedding. Negotiations that followed a memorandum of understanding signed in mid-June collapsed soon afterwards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Strait of Hormuz, which everyone treated as an international waterway before February, is now the contested object. Tehran is asserting control over who passes; Washington is escorting ships through and, as of Saturday, sinking the vessels that pay for the effort. Traffic through the strait remains far below normal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A day before the strikes, President Trump described the war with Iran to reporters as &ldquo;small potatoes&rdquo;. Saturday suggests otherwise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ilEhR4s5sK8\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic\">Broadcast coverage including the unclassified CENTCOM targeting footage of the three tankers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\u2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>Why did the US strike Iranian oil tankers on 5 September 2026?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">US Central Command says the strikes were retaliation for an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ballistic missile attack on a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer patrolling in the region. Both missiles missed and no US personnel were hurt. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper framed the response as an economic one, arguing the tankers fund the IRGC, and said the aim was to impose a higher cost than the attack itself.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Which Iranian tankers were hit and what happened to them?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">CENTCOM named the M\/T Downy, struck off Kharg Island in the northern Persian Gulf, and the M\/T Stark 1, struck near Jask east of the Strait of Hormuz. Both were described as permanently disabled. A third, unladen carrier identified in CENTCOM footage as the M\/T Kylo was hit in multiple places in the Gulf of Oman and completely destroyed. CENTCOM says its crew was warned to abandon ship first.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What aircraft carried out the strikes on the Iranian tankers?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">US officials told Air and Space Forces Magazine that a mix of US Air Force and US Navy aircraft carried out the attack, including both fighters and drones. CENTCOM has not published a full breakdown of the types involved. The command released unclassified targeting footage of the strikes.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Was a US aircraft carrier hit by Iranian missiles?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">No. CENTCOM says a US aircraft carrier and a destroyer evaded multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks while patrolling in the region, that neither ship was struck and that no US service members were injured. The attempt is still significant, because deliberately targeting a carrier with ballistic missiles is a substantial escalation.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>How is this different from previous US strikes on Iran?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Until now the American campaign has concentrated on Iranian military targets such as radars and surface-to-air missile sites. Striking crude oil carriers marks a shift to attacking the revenue stream instead of the shooters. CENTCOM argues the tankers are part of a shadow network that funds the Revolutionary Guard, while Iran calls the strikes a war crime and part of an economic war.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>When did the 2026 Iran war start?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The war began on 28 February 2026 with US and Israeli attacks on Iran. It has run in on-again, off-again phases since then. Fighting resumed at the start of September 2026 after roughly a month of relative calm, and the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of the world seaborne oil and gas moves, has become the central contested space.<\/div><\/details><\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why did the US strike Iranian oil tankers on 5 September 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"US Central Command says the strikes were retaliation for an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ballistic missile attack on a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer patrolling in the region.
