Confirmed
What we know
Attacks on the LNG carrier AL REKAYYAT and tanker WEDYAN around July 7–8 marked day 20 of the MoU’s 60-day window, Kpler recorded. OFAC revoked Iran’s oil waiver and U.S. retaliatory strikes followed.
The twin ship hits crystallized the enforcement fight over who authorizes Hormuz routes—the dispute that would unravel the June ceasefire within days.
What's confirmed
- AL REKAYYAT and WEDYAN attacked; OFAC revoke; U.S. strikes (Kpler; ABC timeline context).
What's still developing
- Crew outcomes and pollution from the two vessels.
