On 2026-09-06, Iranian media led with the IRGC's missile attacks on US warships in response to the US strike on three IRGC-linked oil tankers. State-aligned outlets (Tasnim, Al-Alam, Hamshahri Online) reported the IRGC targeted a US aircraft carrier and destroyer, releasing footage of operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign Persian-language media (BBC Persian, VOA Persian, Iran International) covered the US account and Iran's threats, with Qalibaf warning of a 'full-scale war'. In the evening, the government announced a third gasoline price tier at 10,000 tomans, effective September 17, while Tasnim reported the Strait of Hormuz was 'completely closed'. Shargh Daily shifted to a bombing near Imam Ali's shrine in Najaf, killing Mohammad Baqer al-Hakim, and Iran International reported on luxury London apartments linked to Mojtaba Khamenei being put up for sale.
