The state television reported that the tanker “was illegally attempting” to cross the passage. Activists on social media circulated images of the oil tanker on the verge of sinking, with plumes of smoke rising from it after it was targeted. Oman’s Maritime Security Center said early Sunday that four people were injured in an attack on a Palau-flagged oil tanker north of Khasab Port on the Srait of Hormuz.

President Trump did not deliver a formal address to the American public to explain why the country was at war, a departure from his predecessors. Mr. Trump did not scramble back to the White House from Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Fla., to oversee the U.S. and Israeli strikes. He did not deliver a televised address informing the public of the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was the nation’s supreme leader for nearly four decades. Instead, the president was set to cap an extraordinary day of U.S. aggression abroad by attending a glitzy fund-raising dinner at his club.
