Less than 20 Days After Ceasefire, US-Iran Tensions Renew: US Heavy Bombs Iran, Revokes Oil Exemption, Strike Scale Expanded Fivefold

CoinFeed July 8 news, according to Jinshi reports, the United States launched a new round of airstrikes on Iran and revoked an exemption order that allowed it to sell oil globally. After frequent attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, this move further endangers the peace agreement between the two sides. The U.S. Central Command stated on the X platform that this 'strong strike' aims to 'impose a heavy price on attacks and harassment of commercial ships carrying innocent civilians in international waters,' and said that Iran's aggressive behavior had 'no justification, is dangerous,' and 'clearly violates the ceasefire agreement.' According to the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on July 7 local time, the United States revoked a general license authorizing Iranian oil sales, and related wind-down transactions will be allowed until midnight U.S. Eastern Time on July 17.
