Iran Claims US Lifts Oil Sanctions

US Allegedly Agrees to Temporary Lifting of Iran Oil Sanctions Amid Negotiations

• Iranian state media claims the US has agreed to temporarily lift sanctions on Iran’s oil exports during ongoing negotiations.
• The alleged waiver would last only for the duration of talks, not permanently.
• Iranian sources suggest Washington may unfreeze approximately 25% of Iran’s blocked funds gradually.
• No confirmation has been provided by US officials regarding these claims.
• The US State Department announced new sanctions against Iran’s oil trade as recently as late April and early May 2025.

While Iranian media reports a potential easing of sanctions, no official confirmation from the US exists. The continued imposition of new sanctions suggests that any discussions have not yet resulted in policy changes.
