U.S. strikes on Iranian targets began August 30, 2026, with a reported follow-on strike in Khuzestan province on September 2. Iranian forces launched missiles toward U.S. positions in Jordan and the UAE, while unclaimed projectile strikes hit oil tankers and oil prices increased. Iran claimed 11 deaths from the strikes, a figure disputed by other reporting, and U.S. Central Command confirmed a September 1 military target strike.
