Svmuu News: The United States launched a new round of airstrikes against Iran and revoked an exemption that allowed Iran to sell oil globally. U.S. Central Command stated that the strikes were intended to impose costs on Iran for its attacks and harassment of merchant ships carrying civilians in international waters, adding that Iran’s actions were unjustified, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement. According to a July 7 local-time announcement from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. has revoked a general license authorizing Iranian oil sales; related wind-down transactions may continue until midnight on July 17, Eastern Time.
