CAIRO/WASHINGTON/DUBAI, Sept 9 (Reuters) – Iran said on Wednesday it had attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. sank five Iranian oil tankers, in the biggest declared wave of tit-for-tat attacks on shipping by both sides since the start of the six-month-old war.

The attacks in and around the vital waterway sent the price of oil surging, with the international Brent crude LCOc1 benchmark breaching $100 a barrel for the first time since July. The politically sensitive average retail price of diesel fuel in the United States hit a fresh all-time high above $5.94 a gallon.

Iran also said it had fired ballistic missiles at a base used by U.S. forces in Jordan. Attacks by both sides since the end of August have shattered a month of relative calm, with the U.S. and Iran hitting military, shipping and energy assets.

Recent days have also seen an escalation in fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen, a second theatre of war that threatens global energy supplies from the Middle East.

The Americans said they destroyed five Iranian oil tankers overnight, releasing video of ships ablaze before they sank. The U.S. military’s Central Command called its attacks a response to Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeting a U.S. Navy warship twice with ballistic missiles over the previous two days. No Americans were harmed, the U.S. said.

Washington has announced a new policy of attacking Iranian tankers in retaliation for fire that threatens its warships. Iran says it is imposing a wider off-limits zone around the strait and using new, more capable missiles to attack U.S. ships.
DUBAI, Sept 9 (Reuters) – Sunni Kurdish cleric Mam DUBAI, Sept 9 (Reuters) – Sunni Kurdish cleric Mamosta Mohammad Nezhati was killed in northwestern Iran, the Revolutionary Guards said in a statement reported on Wednesday by the semi-official Mehr news agency.

The statement accused what it called “Zionist-American Kurdish separatist groups” of carrying out the attack.

The Guards’ West Azerbaijan provincial command said the killing of the local cleric was an attempt to create divisions between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims and undermine security in the province.

In a Telegram post, the semi-official Fars news agency described Nezhati as a member of Basij, a paramilitary force linked to the Guards.

It quoted the Guards’ statement as saying he had a long history of cooperation with Basij organisations for professors, seminarians and clerics.

His killing follows that of Molavi Mohammad Anvar Rigi, a Sunni Baluch Friday prayer leader in the southeastern border town of Mirjaveh, who was killed by unidentified gunmen in July.

In border provinces with large ethnic minority populations, such as Sistan-Baluchistan and the Kurdish-populated western provinces, Iran has long faced militancy targeting security forces and figures associated with the state.

“I am a discontented police officer—imagine how th “I am a discontented police officer—imagine how the people must feel.” An officer in the Islamic Republic’s police force says that even his salary no longer covers basic living expenses: 
“I bought a tray of eggs and one kilogram of fruit, and it cost one million tomans—about $4.40. I earn just over 26 million tomans [about $114] a month, but I have only 2.7 million tomans [about $12] left until my next payday. I do not even know how I will afford to travel to work.

“I receive a salary of around 27 million to 28 million tomans [approximately $118 to $122] a month. What are ordinary people supposed to do? They have every right to protest—there is no other way. Yet protesters are branded terrorists and accused of all sorts of things. People are hungry, and you are pretending not to see it.

“Even I, wearing this police uniform, am dissatisfied—imagine how the public feels. You can see the anger and hatred on people’s faces. Their disgust for this uniform is unmistakable, while some officials continue to live in a fantasy world.

“Have some shame. There is a limit to shamelessness, and you have reached it. I am a discontented police officer—imagine how the people must feel.”

Dollar equivalents are approximate and based on the Sept. 8–9, 2026 open-market rate of about 229,000 tomans to $1.

LONDON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Britain on Tuesday published legislation to introduce tougher sanctions on Iran, expanding trade restrictions and powers to target ships as part of what it described as a wider effort to curb Tehran’s nuclear program and other hostile activities.

The government said the measures would restrict Iran‘s access to the British financial system, broaden trade bans to include more goods, technology and services, and prohibit Iranian aircraft from landing in Britain unless exemptions apply.

The measures form part of plans the government announced last year following the reimposition of U.N. sanctions on Iran under a so-called snapback mechanism.

The British legislation, once approved by parliament, would restore a range of sectoral restrictions lifted under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and further limit Iran‘s ability to raise funds and procure goods and technology linked to its nuclear program.

Stephen Doughty, a Foreign Office minister, said in a written statement that the legislation “doubles down on our action to constrain Iran‘s nuclear ambitions” and would help ensure Iran was never able to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Iran‘s embassy in London did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Iran says its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes. But Doughty said Iran had accumulated more than 400 kg (882 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% purity and was the only country without nuclear weapons to have enriched uranium to that level.

Doughty also said the measures would not affect Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz gas field, which helps supply European energy markets. The legislation includes licences allowing the BP BP.L-operated project to keep running despite an Iranian stake in the consortium. Britain said the carve-out would match similar exemptions used by the U.S. and EU.

WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – The United States on Tuesday issued 36 fresh Iran-related sanctions targeting Iran‘s aviation sector and other companies as part of a broad push to escalate economic pressure on Tehran as the war in the Middle East entered a seventh month.

The U.S. Treasury Department said the action was aimed at grounding Iran‘s Mahan Air and other Iranian airlines, as well as covert front companies, foreign intermediaries and deceptive trans-shipment routes that Iran relies on to obtain U.S.-origin aircraft and sensitive technology.

The Treasury also issued an alert asking financial institutions to report procurement networks supporting Iran‘s aviation industry, and targeted firms based in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates that it said helped Tehran procure U.S.-origin aircraft and sensitive technology.

”Let this be a warning to anyone doing business with Iran’s remaining airlines, all of which we sanctioned today: You are at risk of being cut off from the global financial system,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

CAIRO/DUBAI, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Tehran-backed Houthis attacked four cities in the south of U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a major expansion of the six-month-old Middle East war.

The Houthis, who control most of Yemen’s populated areas including the capital, said they had launched a broad operation deep into Saudi territory. They used drones and missiles to strike a Saudi airbase in the southern city of Khamis Mushait, and targets belonging to Saudi Arabia’s state oil company in nearby Abha, Najran on the Yemeni border, and Jazan, a major Red Sea port city that houses a large refinery and power plant.

NASA satellite images showed a thick cloud of black smoke over the Jazan refinery and a column of white smoke rising from an oil distribution centre in Abha.

Saudi authorities described blazes at the sites and said women and children were among the 73 people hurt. The reports of such large numbers of wounded suggested the attacks were among the biggest carried out against Saudi Arabia since the United States and Israel launched their war against Iran in February.
