Iran will again attempt to strike a United States naval ship and the United States will again destroy at least one Iranian oil tanker on 9 September 2026.
“The back and forth is pretty straightforward, and that is that Iran continues to try to hit U.S. naval ships. And for every time they do that or try to do that, they're going to lose tankers. And I think you'll see that again today.”

By 9 September 2026, Iran had targeted a U.S. warship twice and the United States said it destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers.
The prediction required both an Iranian attempt against a U.S. naval ship and a U.S. destruction of at least one Iranian oil tanker on 9 September 2026. CENTCOM said the warship was targeted twice and the U.S. destroyed five tankers, so both parts of the claim were met.
