24 September 2026 in brief

The IRGC said the head of its base in Saravan, Brig Gen Hossein Zarifi, was killed in clashes with gunmen, and IRNA said five gunmen were killed. [1] The Saudi-led coalition said it shot down six Houthi ballistic missiles fired at Taif and Yanbu, and Yemen's government said it repelled Houthi attacks on the Hejat al-Abd pass on the supply route to Aden. [1][2] Kpler counted 10 commodity vessels crossing the strait on 23 September, while a US official said about 60 passed, figures Reuters could not verify, so the count is disputed. [1] Eighty countries called at the UN for the full restoration of navigation in the Gulf, and the UAE suspended all flights by Iranian airlines, citing US sanctions. [1][2] The US agreed to hand its diplomatic support centre at Baghdad airport to Iraq ahead of the 30 September troop exit, and Prime Minister Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly that striking Iran's nuclear facilities was one of the easiest decisions he had made.
