TANKER STRUCK IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ
- On Saturday, a tanker sustained bridge damage after being struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, Britain's UKMTO maritime security agency reported, following Thursday's cargo ship attack.
- The United States and Iran exchanged military strikes after accusing each other of violating their interim peace deal, with U.S. forces hitting a communications tower in Sirik while Iran targeted U.S.-linked sites.
- U.S. Vice President JD Vance warned that "violence will be met with violence" on social media, while Iranian state television reported the Revolutionary Guards fired "warning shots" at ships refusing Iranian-approved channels.
- Oil prices had fallen about 3 percent before the violence erupted, but the weekend escalation allowed both sides to harden positions while markets remained closed, intensifying the struggle over the 20km channel.
- The Trump Administration has offered up to $531b in funding if Iran drops its nuclear ambitions, though the interim peace deal requires Iran to allow toll-free traffic through the strait within 60 days.
