US Revokes Iran Oil Waiver After Attacks in Strait of Hormuz Amid Rising Tensions with Iran

Описание: The United States has revoked its temporary sanctions waiver for Iranian oil following attacks on three commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions in the Gulf. The waiver, introduced in June and scheduled to remain in effect until August 21, had allowed Iran to produce, sell, and deliver crude oil under limited conditions while negotiations with Washington continued.
According to British maritime authorities, an unknown projectile and at least one drone struck three vessels near Oman, causing fires and raising fresh concerns over maritime security. Qatar confirmed that one of the targeted ships was its LNG tanker, Al-Rekayyat, and directly blamed Iran, calling the attack a violation of international navigation. Iran rejected the allegations, describing Qatar’s accusations as unacceptable.
The incidents have renewed fears over the safety of one of the world's most important oil transit routes, pushing global oil prices higher. Security analysts believe the attacks signal Iran’s opposition to alternative shipping arrangements through Omani waters and reflect ongoing disputes over future control and administration of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the setback, US officials say negotiations with Iran will continue, stressing that sanctions relief depends on Tehran’s actions and adherence to agreed commitments.
