Three tankers hit in the Strait of Hormuz as US revokes license authorizing sale of Iranian oil

Three tankers were struck by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. The British military on Tuesday announced the latest attacks targeting vessels moving through the fuel-shipping waterway that is central to negotiations seeking a permanent end to the war between the U.S. and Iran. Hours later, the U.S. revoked a license that had authorized the sale of Iranian oil. The Treasury issued the 60-day license last month, waiving sanctions on Iranian oil as part of an interim agreement to end the fighting. The fresh attacks threatened to choke off the flow of traffic in the strait just as countries hoped to restore normal shipping practices and ease the global economic strain of the war.
