The article discusses the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran following multiple American airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites, which were reportedly aimed at retaliation for Iran's attack on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has announced it will revoke the license allowing the sale of Iranian crude oil, citing Iran's violation of a previously signed memorandum. President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire with Iran is effectively over, emphasizing his desire to disengage from further dealings with Iran. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte supported the U.S. actions, calling the attacks 'absolutely necessary' due to Iran's breach of the ceasefire. In response, Iran has vowed a strong counterattack, accusing the U.S. of aggression and threatening to target American bases in the region. Geopolitical analyst Denis Avdagić comments on the situation, noting that Iran's attack on commercial vessels violated a memorandum guaranteeing safe passage, and warns that allowing such actions could lead to higher energy costs in Europe due to disruptions in gas supplies.
