The United States authorizes Iranian oil sales as it works toward a final peace agreement with Tehran. Multiple outlets report that the U.S. Treasury Department issues a general license covering the production, delivery, and sale of crude oil and petrochemical and petroleum products of Iranian origin. The authorization runs through August 21. Reuters, as cited by one outlet, frames the move as an easing of longstanding U.S. sanctions in parallel with negotiations. The same reporting links the sanctions relief to U.S. efforts to reach a final deal that includes commitments from Iran on nuclear inspections and on free transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Under the terms described, the license allows Iranian-origin products to be sold within the stated timeframe, including crude oil and related refined and petrochemical categories. The reports do not provide additional details on specific purchasers, volumes, or enforcement mechanisms, but they agree on the license scope and expiration date.
