The Trump administration has revoked a sanctions waiver that allowed certain Iranian oil sales following repeated tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the report, U.S. officials said the memorandum of understanding with Iran was always intended to be performance-based, with continued sanctions relief dependent on Tehran's conduct.
The report said Washington considers the recent attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz unacceptable and believes such actions warrant consequences.
Despite the move, according to the report, negotiations between the United States and Iran are continuing in good faith.
U.S. officials indicated that diplomatic engagement remains active even as Washington responds to the recent escalation in maritime security tensions.
