US Missile Strike Hits Iranian Tanker Near Kharg Island as Israel Strikes Lebanon and Pentagon Hunts Leaks (Sep 05, 1005 UTC, 1305 Israel) (Evening Edition)
A US missile strike hit an Iranian oil tanker near Kharg Island, with Iranian state media reporting four projectiles struck the vessel and no casualties. Israeli strikes killed at least three and wounded 23 in southern and eastern Lebanon after Hezbollah launched a drone at IDF troops. The Pentagon polygraphed about 50 Joint Staff members over leaks on munitions shortages, and US intelligence assesses Iran is weighing major escalation before the midterms.
