Iran accused Washington of hitting a wedding party, killing four people and wounding dozens.\n\n\n\nAsian and European stocks tumbled\u00a0after the renewed U.S. airstrikes, which pushed oil prices back up to levels unseen since July.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military said it struck air defenses, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites on Tuesday. Iran reported hits on multiple targets near the Strait of Hormuz.\n\n\n\n\u201cLast night was like the end of the world,\u201d Mahmoud, 38, a municipal worker in Sirik County along the strait, told Reuters by telephone, describing attacks on the area which includes the city where the wedding was reported to have been hit.\n\n\n\nIran responded by striking what it said were U.S. assets in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq, and said its aim was now to drive U.S. forces from the vast network of military bases they have occupied for decades across the Middle East.\n\n\n\n\u201cAmerican evil in the region will be met with heavier, more widespread, and devastating responses, and any country that cooperates with the aggressive American army must accept its dangerous\u00a0consequences,\u201d Iran\u2019s military command said.\n\n\n\nIran said it killed U.S. forces in Jordan and at a base in northern Iraq, but U.S. officials told Reuters there had not been any casualties, according to initial assessments.\n\n\n\nIn Kuwait, Iran said it had carried out a missile and drone attack on the vast U.S. Ali Al Salem Air Base and targeted the accommodation of a U.S. commander. Kuwait\u2019s fire service said it put out a blaze at a residential complex hit by a drone.\n\n\n\nQatar, home of the largest U.S. airbase in the Gulf, said it held Iran responsible for attacks and their repercussions. Bahrain, which houses the regional headquarters of the U.S. Navy, said Iranian drones were intercepted and destroyed.\n\n\n\nIran also said two tankers had been struck by mines while being steered through the Strait of Hormuz by U.S. personnel.\n\n\n\nWashington says that despite Iranian attacks it is guiding ships through the strait: Energy Secretary Chris Wright said more than 17 million barrels of oil exited on Monday.\n\n\n\nSaudi Arabia\u2019s national shipping company reported on Wednesday that two Filipino crew had been\u00a0killed aboard an oil tanker\u00a0in the strait two days earlier.\n\n\n\nIRAN SAYS WEDDING STRUCK\n\n\n\nIranians were fearful that the new strikes signaled war could restart at full throttle.\n\n\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to live like this. We don\u2019t know when America will strike. My family and I are constantly worried about where will it strike,\u201d Mahpari, 28, a woman in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, told Reuters by phone.\n\n\n\nIran reported at least 12 deaths from the night of U.S. strikes, with four people including a four-year-old said to have been killed while celebrating the wedding at a home in Sirik.\n\n\n\nEarlier reports put the death toll there at five. Iranian media said as many as 68 people were wounded there, and released images of injured children in hospital.\n\n\n\nReuters was unable to independently verify the incident.\n\n\n\nU.S. Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for Central Command, said: \u201cWe are aware of reports, which originated from Iranian state media. The U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC,\u201d referring to Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards.\n\n\n\nVideo filmed by Iran\u2019s West Asia News Agency at the purported site showed rubble strewn across rooms and a courtyard. A pair of strappy women\u2019s dress sandals lay abandoned on a blood-soaked carpet.\n\n\n\n\u201cI am just glad the casualties weren\u2019t even worse,\u201d said Ali Molahi, identified as the father of the bride.\n\n\n\nIranian officials compared the incident to a strike on a girls\u2019 school that\u00a0killed 160 people\u00a0on the war\u2019s first night. The Pentagon has not released the findings of an investigation into that attack, which would be U.S. military\u2019s largest civilian casualty incident in decades.\n\n\n\nCONFLICT DRAINING BOTH SIDES\n\n\n\nThe exchange of fire was the worst since July, when U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly halted two weeks of intense bombing of Iran after warnings from his military brass that they were\u00a0using up munitions and running out of meaningful targets.\n\n\n\nTrump, who has yet to achieve the aims he set when launching \u201cOperation Epic Fury\u201d in February \u2014 to end Iran\u2019s nuclear program, deprive it of the ability to strike its neighbors and create conditions for Iranians to topple their rulers \u2014 repeated his declarations that victory was at hand.\n\n\n\n\u201cI like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing,\u201d he said on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Washington was looking at targeting\u00a0airlines, the maritime industry and digital assets\u00a0as part of a campaign to increase economic pressure on Tehran.\n\n\n\nSources have told Reuters Trump aides were\u00a0trying to keep the war quiet\u00a0for now to avert a rout in congressional elections in November. Polls show Americans\u00a0oppose the war\u00a0by more than a two-to-one margin.\n\n\n\nIran, for its part, is determined to emerge from the war stronger than before, with sanctions lifted, blocked funds released, and a newfound grip over the strait letting it collect fees from ships that normally carry a fifth of global oil.\n\n\n\n(Reporting by Kanishka Singh in Washington and Ahmed Tolba in Cairo; Additional reporting by Parisa Hafezi and Jana Choukeir in Dubai, Idrees Ali and Daphne Psaledakis in Washington, and Yasmine Ghania and Muhammad Al Gebaly in Cairo; Writing by Daniel Trotta, Stephen Coates, Peter Graff; Editing by Saad Sayeed, Sharon Singleton, Alexandra Hudson)\n\n\n\n(c) Copyright Thomson Reuters 2026.\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t \n\n\n\t\tSubscribe for Daily Maritime Insights\n\t\tSign up for gCaptain\u2019s newsletter and never miss an update\n \u2014 trusted by our 106,914 members" ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1788386701.396007", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-03T01:33:09.376882+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://gcaptain.com/us-pounds-iran-tehran-strikes-back-at-bases-in-biggest-exchange-since-july/" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-09-03T01:33:09.369023+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "US\u00a0Pounds\u00a0Iran, Tehran Strikes Back at Bases in Biggest Exchange Since July", "pwd": "/data/archive/1788386701.396007", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-03T01:33:09.336851+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--backup-converted", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--warc-file=/data/archive/1788386701.396007/warc/1788399170", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "https://gcaptain.com/us-pounds-iran-tehran-strikes-back-at-bases-in-biggest-exchange-since-july/" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-09-03T01:33:09.323747+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "gcaptain.com/us-pounds-iran-tehran-strikes-back-at-bases-in-biggest-exchange-since-july/index.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1788386701.396007", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-03T01:32:50.011436+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "US\u00a0Pounds\u00a0Iran, Tehran Strikes Back at Bases in Biggest Exchange Since July", "warc": null, "wget": "gcaptain.com/us-pounds-iran-tehran-strikes-back-at-bases-in-biggest-exchange-since-july/index.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1788386701.396007", "newest_archive_date": "2026-09-03T01:33:11.451076+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-09-03T01:32:49.349658+00:00", "path": "/us-pounds-iran-tehran-strikes-back-at-bases-in-biggest-exchange-since-july/", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "4c649332-2df3-4f91-929a-2ad3ee8a8705", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1788386701-import.txt" ], "tags": ",escalation,war-wiki,pool", "tags_str": "escalation,war-wiki,pool", "timestamp": "1788386701.396007", "title": "US\u00a0Pounds\u00a0Iran, Tehran Strikes Back at Bases in Biggest Exchange Since July", "updated": "2026-09-03T01:32:49.349362+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-09-03 01:32", "url": "https://gcaptain.com/us-pounds-iran-tehran-strikes-back-at-bases-in-biggest-exchange-since-july/" }
