Iranian forces attack oil tanker following US 'Economic D-Day' sanctions

Iranian military forces attacked a commercial oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on August 26, just hours after the U.S. Treasury Department launched 'Operation Economic Outcast,' a massive sanctions wave described as 'Economic D-Day.' The sanctions target Iran's 'ghost fleet' and international oil brokers. In response, Tehran outlined plans for a temporary shipping corridor that excludes military vessels while President Trump warned that any ship laying new mines would be 'systematically destroyed.'
