The United States will allow Iran to begin selling oil and fuel immediately after a memorandum of understanding tied to ending the war is signed this week, according to a senior U.S. official cited by multiple outlets. The sanctions relief starts upon signing and includes not only the waiver covering Iranian oil sales but also related services needed for trading, such as banking, transportation, and insurance. CBS News reports the Treasury Department issues a two-month license that allows Iran to produce, sell, and deliver oil without U.S. penalties on buyers, in exchange for progress in negotiations. Other coverage similarly describes the policy as linked to negotiations and highlights that the arrangement includes conditions. Korea Times reports the agreement is performance-based and states that Iran can access benefits only if it follows specified points, including restrictions tied to nuclear weapons and enriched material and ensuring it does not interfere with navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Several outlets also report that Iranian tankers move out of a U.S. blockade zone ahead of the talks. Times of India adds that the temporary waiver is set for about 60 days and includes related provisions affecting transit and inspections.
