Trump and CENTCOM say the US is striking Iranian targets near Hormuz as Pezeshkian offers to revive the Islamabad deal
On Tuesday 1 September 2026, as London moved into evening, U.S. Central Command and President Donald Trump said American forces were hitting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets near the Strait of Hormuz “as we speak.” The Associated Press treated the action as a new target set, not a recap of Sunday’s two-launcher strike on Larak Island. The Independent’s live file named explosions in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Jask and Sirik. Hours earlier in Bishkek, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran would immediately reciprocate if Washington returned to the June memorandum of understanding. Pakistan’s Ishaq Dar, meeting Iran’s Abbas Araghchi at the same SCO summit, said sincere implementation of the Islamabad MoU remained the only way forward. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, at the G20 in North Carolina, previewed more Iran-linked bank sanctions and called Hormuz a “worthless piece of water” within two years. Oil had already jumped on the weekend exchange.
