The United States launches an attack against Iran after revoking authorization for the sale of Iranian oil

In addition, the forces of the United States Central Command (Centcom) began a series of attacks against Iran in response to Iranian attacks against three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to the US military command.

“Iran’s actions were unjustified, dangerous and a clear violation of the ceasefire”Centcom stated in its X account, in which it accused Tehran of attacking commercial ships manned by “innocent civilians” in an international shipping lane.

“Iran will only benefit if it shows good behavior“An official told the American network CNBC who justified that the decision to revoke sales of Iranian oil is linked to the attacks of the last 24 hours.

The exemptions were issued on June 21 as part of a temporary authorization that allowed certain operations with crude oil, petrochemical products and derivatives of Iranian origin despite the US sanctions regime.

Along these lines, the Treasury Department announced the revocation of General License X related to Tehran and its replacement by General License X1, which regulates the orderly closure of operations previously authorized for production, delivery and sale of crude oil, petrochemical products and derivatives of Iranian origin.

General License X had established temporary authorization within the US sanctions regime for certain transactions in Iranian oil.

The new version maintains the transition process after the withdrawal of that authorization, although the Treasury did not detail the specific changes introduced in the new document.

The cancellation of the authorization, which was in force since the signing of the memorandum of understanding reached between Washington and Tehran on June 17, It would raise tensions again between both nations.

In recent weeks, tensions have escalated again between Iran and the US, with Iranian attacks against several ships and US bombings against military targets on the southern coast of the Persian country in a fight for control of Hormuz.

Iran had warned this Tuesday that negotiations for a definitive agreement with the US will not begin while US President Donald Trump continue to threaten the Islamic Republic.

Tehran’s positioning comes after the Republican stated that if a pact with the Persian country is not achieved, it will “finish the job” by attacking Iranian infrastructure and energy plants.
