🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US Treasury has revoked General License X, the authorization it issued just 15 days ago allowing Iranian oil sales to resume under the US-Iran memorandum of understanding.
The move comes after UKMTO reported three tankers, Saudi, Qatari, and a third vessel, struck by unknown projectiles near the Strait of Hormuz. No group has claimed responsibility. Tehran has not commented.
A US official called the incidents “wholly unacceptable” and promised consequences, while simultaneously insisting negotiators remain committed to a final deal. OFAC’s replacement license, General License X1, gives companies until July 17 to wind down existing transactions but bars any new Iranian oil purchases from today.
Worth noting: sanctions relief lasted barely two weeks before Washington pulled it, on the basis of attacks nobody has attributed to anyone. Brent crude jumped over 2% on the news. The MOU explicitly ties Iran’s economic relief to “good behavior,” giving Washington a standing pretext to snap sanctions back on at will, deal or no deal.

🇮🇷 ⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 Statement by Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the explicit violation of clause 10 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding by the United States
Less than 20 days after the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, the announcement of the revocation of the general authorization issued on June 21 is another indication of the bad faith, instability, and unreliability of the U.S. ruling establishment.
This comes despite the fact that over the past 20 days, the United States—either directly or through the actions of the Zionist regime against Lebanon—has repeatedly committed both minor and major violations of various provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding.
The U.S. government, in keeping with its longstanding practice, has sought to justify its own breaches of its commitments by citing various pretexts while simultaneously violating those commitments.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will take whatever measures it deems necessary to safeguard its national interests and national security.
