Oil tanker attacked in Strait of Hormuz as Iran unveils plan to counter US sanctions

An oil tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, coinciding with Iran's claim it has a two-year plan to withstand new U.S. sanctions under President Donald Trump's "Economic D-Day" campaign. Iran and Oman jointly proposed a temporary navigational corridor through the strait and agreed to clear it of mines. Trump stated the U.S. Navy has removed all mines and warned any ship placing new ones will be destroyed, with Space Force monitoring the area. The U.S. Treasury announced sweeping sanctions, causing Iran's currency to hit an all-time low. Iran-linked hackers are also suspected of disrupting a British power generator and U.S. water systems, while Iranian officials predict the sanctions will result in "another defeat" for America.
