The United States issues sweeping waivers easing parts of its oil sanctions on Iran for 60 days, Reuters and other outlets report. The move follows Iran’s agreement to allow international nuclear inspections, according to Al Jazeera. Several reports describe the waivers as unlocking additional revenue for Tehran during the period. Coverage also notes that the US action is paired with expectations that Iran continues to comply with the terms linked to inspections.
Separately, Al Jazeera reports that a ceasefire in Lebanon holds on day 116 of the broader conflict timeline it is tracking. The reports collectively frame these developments as parallel diplomatic and humanitarian tracks: sanctions relief on the Iran file tied to inspection access, and ongoing efforts to maintain a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon. While outlets emphasize different details—such as the scope of waivers and the US message to Iran—sources broadly agree on the timing, the inspection-related basis for the sanctions relief, and that the Lebanon ceasefire remains in effect.
