  "account": "Iran’s Supreme National Security Council revealed on Sunday a fresh plan to retaliate against potential US-Israeli attacks. Maritime authorities reported a series of assaults on commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz. A senior Iranian official stated that Tehran’s response would be \"far more devastating\" than past 12- and 40-day conflicts, adding that the new operational strategy diverges from familiar protocols. Simultaneously, the UK Maritime Trade Operations confirmed a tug vessel was struck by two unidentified projectiles off the UAE, while a liquefied natural gas tanker received an approach from a small skiff with seven individuals near Yemen. Saudi Arabia disclosed another tanker northeast of the Kingdom suffering a rocket-propelled grenade attack from a small boat on Friday. Financial terms \"risk-on\" and \"risk-off\" describe investor risk tolerance; \"risk-on\" signifies optimism, positive asset prices, and currency strength, while \"risk-off\" denotes cautious behavior, asset preservation, and safe-haven currency gains.",
  "summary": "A secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, warned on Sunday that Tehran has prepared a new retaliation plan for any renewed US-Israeli attack, as maritime authorities reported several separate attacks on commercial vessels around the Strait of Hormuz, CNBC reported.",
