  "account": "On September 5, Iranian news agencies reported an explosion near the fuel hub of Kharg Island, which appeared to target an oil tanker. However, they noted that no smoke was seen rising from the area. As of now, neither the US nor the Iranian government has commented on the strikes. Following a lull in fighting, the United States resumed striking Iranian targets on Sunday, marking the beginning of the war's seventh month. Iranian broadcasters have reported strikes of unknown origin on Kharg Island, adding to concerns about the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is set to visit Palestinian-Americans residing in West Bank towns that have faced Israeli settler attacks.",
