U.S. Strikes Iran and Restores Sanctions After Revoking Oil Waiver

The United States launched a military strike against Iran. The attack was presented as retaliation for recent tanker assaults. At the same time, Washington reinstated sanctions on Iran. The sanctions reversal followed the Treasury Department’s removal of a waiver. The waiver had previously permitted worldwide sales of Iranian oil. The revocation occurred just hours before the strike. Officials said the combined actions aim to pressure Tehran. The developments mark an escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions.
