What happened

Well supportedReported by 31 independent outlets

Iranian agencies reported that on September 9, 2026, Iranian forces launched a heavy attack against the aircraft carrier USS Washington using Qassem Bassir anti-ship missiles. The carrier was reportedly hundreds of kilometers from the Iranian coast at the time of the strikes. Following the operation, Revolutionary Guard General Hossein Mohebbi claimed that all U.S. warships, including destroyers and cruisers, had withdrawn at least 500 kilometers from the Iranian coast. The Iranian side stated the operation demonstrated its ability to deny naval access and strike targets hundreds of kilometers away.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ongoing crisis involves U.S. military actions against Iran, which critics argue are unconstitutional and constitute a crime of aggression due to the lack of UN resolution. The heightened tensions and the potential for the Strait of Hormuz to be blocked are already linked to a global energy crisis and higher gas prices.
