Iran claimed it struck an unmanned US military vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, but US military called it a 'total lie'. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
According to the Associated Press, Iran's claim came during a week of renewed hostilities in the Middle East. The US military denied the claim, calling it a 'total lie'.
Meanwhile, Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed four people and leveled a hospital. These events occurred on September 6, 2026.
Associated Press photographers released images from the scene. One photo shows a motorboat passing a general cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran. Other photos show people carrying bodies of those killed in an Israeli airstrike and mourners gathered around the flag-draped bodies of Palestinians killed in the war with Hamas in Gaza City.
The Associated Press is still clarifying details of these events. More information will be published later.
