U.S. 7 month 7 day revokes authorization to sell Iranian crude oil and carries out airstrikes

The United States 7 month 7 day revoked its authorization to sell Iranian crude oil and completed airstrikes against multiple targets in Iran on the same day. The action was directly prompted by recent attacks on tankers and LNG carriers.

The Treasury Department revoked on that day the suspension of crude oil sanctions that had been maintained until 8 month 21 day under an interim agreement between Washington and Tehran reached last month. The suspension permitted some transactions involving Iranian crude oil on a limited basis.

U.S. Central Command announced that it had completed strikes against multiple targets in response to vessel attacks near the Strait of Hormuz. The statement specified only that the operation had been completed, while the specific scale of the damage is subject to a further announcement.

This measure was taken shortly after a series of attacks on oil tankers and LNG carriers. The U.S. Treasury Department and Central Command said further announcements could follow.

The specific repercussions, including the market response and insurance and transportation measures, must be confirmed through official documents and voyage reports released in the future. 8Around the month of 21the sanctions and authorization status is highly likely to determine the subsequent course.
