On September 6th, German startup Isar Aerospace's "Spectrum" rocket lifted off from a launch site in Norway, aiming to complete the company's first commercial space mission to reach orbit from the European continent. The rocket, carrying a payload including five small satellites, entered orbit approximately four minutes after liftoff. This was Isar's second launch attempt this year, following multiple delays due to weather, technical issues, and interference from an out-of-control vessel. The 28-meter-tall rocket can deliver a 1,000-kilogram payload to low Earth orbit, significantly smaller than SpaceX's rockets. Isar CEO Daniel Metzler, speaking at the company's €270 million ($313 million) funding round earlier this year, stated that the rocket's size helps in placing satellites into specific orbits and differentiates it from SpaceX's offerings.

Official footage shows that Isar's unmanned space rocket has been launched from its base in Norway.

On September 6th, Al Jazeera reported that a senior Iranian lawmaker confirmed that Iran had attacked a US warship with ballistic missiles. Hassan Ghashgavi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee, stated, "Yes, we fully confirm this. We are engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the United States. Their military action naturally violates all international law," adding, "Because the United States is far away from us, it doesn't consider this war a matter of life or death." When asked about Iran changing the rules of engagement, Ghashgavi stated that "this blockade should never have existed," pointing to the now-expired memorandum of understanding. "Four days ago, the Iranian president stated at the Bishkek summit that we were ready to return to the negotiating table, but US officials ignored this and instead continued to escalate and strengthen the blockade."

On the evening of the 5th local time, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy stated in a statement that "US forces, out of desperation due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, attacked three Iranian oil tankers, causing damage."

The Revolutionary Guard Navy warned that all vessels in the Persian Gulf should avoid navigating illegal waterways, otherwise they will become targets. As of now, the US has not confirmed this.
