The US Treasury Department revoked a waiver that allowed the sale of Iranian oil in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, jeopardizing an interim peace deal between Washington and Tehran. 

The Office of Foreign Assets Control said no new transactions for Iranian oil may take place on or after July 7. A previous version of the waiver, titled General License X, was issued in the wake of the peace agreement and allowed transactions for 60 days, through August 21.
