Khaberni - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Biscent said that the Trump administration granted a 30-day sanctions waiver on Friday to buy Iranian oil offshore, with the aim of easing the pressures on energy supplies since the outbreak of the American-Israeli war on Iran.
This marks the third time that the United States has granted a temporary sanctions exemption within about two weeks.
In the past, the United States eased sanctions on Russian oil, and on Friday issued a general license allowing the sale of crude oil and Iranian petroleum products loaded on ships from March 20th to April 19th, according to the license published on the Treasury Department's website.
Biscent stated on the "X" platform: "By temporarily opening this current supply to the world, the United States will quickly provide about 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, increasing the amount of global energy and helping to ease the temporary pressures on supplies caused by Iran."
Biscent said, "In short, we will use Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep prices low while we continue the operation Epic Rage."
