Iran's foreign ministry condemned a U.S. Treasury move to ⁠revoke ⁠the temporary suspension of sanctions on Iranian oil sales, ⁠saying the decision breached the Islamabad memorandum on ending the war and holding Washington responsible for the consequences.

The ⁠ministry said ⁠Iran would take any measure it deemed necessary to safeguard its interests and national security.

The ⁠United States on Tuesday re-imposed sanctions on Iranian oil, as a U.S. official warned ⁠that ‌Iran's ‌attacks on vessels ⁠in the ‌Strait of Hormuz were "wholly unacceptable" ⁠and ⁠would be met with ⁠consequences.
