DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Three tankers were struck by projectiles Tuesday in the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, the British military said, and the United States revoked a license that had authorized the sale of Iranian oil as part an interim deal to end the fighting between the U.S. and Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new assaults in the fuel-shipping waterway were the most in a single day since late April, according to the U.N. International Maritime Organization. The fresh attacks threatened to choke off the flow of traffic in the strait just as countries hoped to restore normal shipping practices and ease the global economic strain of the war.<\/p>\n
