The US on Tuesday\u00a0launched \u201cpowerful strikes\u201d on Iran and canceled its lucrative oil\u00a0waiver in\u00a0\u201cheavy\u201d payback for\u00a0Tehran attacking ships<\/a>\u00a0in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration called Tehran\u2019s firing of missiles and drones at three commercial ships \u201cwholly\u00a0unacceptable,\u201d\u00a0and a violation of the ceasefire terms set out\u00a0through\u00a0the Memorandum of Understanding signed last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Office of Foreign Assets Control is revoking GL X, which authorized the sale of Iranian oil,\u201d a US official told The Post. \u201cAs President Trump and the administration have repeatedly affirmed, the MOU in effect with Iran is entirely performance-based.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly after, US Central Command\u00a0said its forces had<\/a>\u00a0\u201cbegun\u00a0launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIran\u2019s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
