Kish Island, Iran's Tourist Hotspot, Feels Effects Of US-Iran War

KISH ISLAND, IRAN - APRIL 24: A ship idles in the Persian Gulf on April 24, 2026 in Kish Island, Iran. Tourism to Kish Island, a popular getaway for Iranians in the Persian Gulf, has plummeted amid the ongoing war between the US and Iran, leading to widespread flight cancellations and the effective suspension of most tourism to the island. Both the United States and Iran are trying to assert control over the nearby Strait of Hormuz, at the eastern end of the Persian Gulf, as they negotiate the terms for ending the current war.
