The post U.S. Launches New Strikes Against Iran—Here’s Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The U.S. launched its latest strikes against Iran on Tuesday, according to U.S. Central Command, which said the military operations were made in response to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz—a major oil shipping route that remains a sizable point of contention in U.S.-Iran peace efforts.

The strikes come shortly after President Donald Trump revoked a waiver authorizing the sale of Iranian oil, marking the lates

The post Tehran markets ship attacks as customer service; Washington responds with ordnance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spent Tuesday insisting it is diligently fulfilling its Strait of Hormuz commitments under the memorandum signed at Versailles, hours after projectiles struck a Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier and a Saudi tanker inside the waterway it claims to be safeguarding. The spokesperson cast vessels sailing routes uncoordinated with Iran, or masking their transponders, as authors of their own misfortune, then professed bafflement at Qatar’s accusations, framing them as an affront to neighbourly principle. Rezaei, advisor to the Supreme Leader, completed the set by declaring it obvious that Washington will steer the talks to failure; blame for a collapse is being assigned before the collapse arrives. Washington’s answer skipped the podium entirely, with Central Command announcing a series of intense strikes on Iran to penalize the targeting

The post Euro watches its best arguments sink in the Strait of Hormuz appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro spent Tuesday assembling the sort of case that should buy a currency a bid: hawkish-leaning remarks from an unlikely corner of the European Central Bank (ECB), a softening American payrolls proxy, and a Federal Reserve (Fed) regional president content to say nothing new. The market read the file, shrugged, and sold the single currency anyway, fading it from an early peak just shy of 1.1450 to a 1.1406 close, its weakest finish since last Wednesday. The Strait of Hormuz then finished the job, with late-session headlines confirming fresh Iranian strikes on commercial shipping and an American military and sanctions response that handed the Dollar a haven bid into the close. What began as quiet positioning ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes ended with the pair pinned near its low and Brent Crude Oil sharply higher.

The post Washington revokes Iran’s Crude Oil waiver 19 days after granting it appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The United States Treasury Department revoked the general license authorizing Iranian Crude Oil sales on Tuesday, ending the shortest-lived sanctions relief of the ceasefire era hours after three tankers were struck in the Strait of Hormuz. The move strips Tehran of the single largest revenue concession it extracted from last month’s talks and puts the entire fourteen-point framework on notice. Nineteen days of goodwill The waiver survived nineteen days between issuance and revocation, which tells the market everything it needs to know about how Washington scores compliance. The license arrived in June under the fourteen-point memorandum of understanding that reopened the Strait of Hormuz and originally permitted Iranian sales through August 21; the Treasury now orders those transactions unwound by July 17. American officials framed the decision in strictly transactional t
