U.S. Strikes Iran and Reimposes Sanctions in Retaliation for Tanker Attacks
(New York Times) Eric Schmitt - The U.S. carried out airstrikes against Iran on Tuesday after revoking a waiver allowing the sale of Iranian oil around the world, in a dual response to Iranian attacks on three commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, including a Saudi oil tanker and a Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier. Senior U.S. officials asserted that the Iranians had chosen the path of aggression despite being well aware of the consequences. Iranian officials announced that the U.S. had violated the June 18 agreement intended to end the war.
