Washington, DC – The United States announced today that it is temporarily authorizing the release and sale of Iranian oil shipments stranded at sea, a surprise move that could ease economic tensions between Tehran and energy-importing nations.
The decision follows intensive negotiations between US authorities and international companies. It also comes amid growing pressure to avoid further disruptions in global oil markets, which have experienced sharp fluctuations in recent weeks.
The US Treasury Department confirmed that the authorization is temporary and applies to specific shipments. It added that any future transactions will be subject to a careful assessment of the political and economic implications, within the framework of maintaining sanctions against Tehran.
