Oil Sanctions Waiver Part of Possible Iran-US Understanding
WANA (May 24) – Reports emerging about the details of a possible preliminary understanding between Iran and the United States suggest that one of the main clauses would involve Washington agreeing to waive Iran’s oil sanctions during the negotiation period — a move that would allow Tehran to sell its oil without restrictions linked to existing sanctions throughout the talks.
According to the reported details, if both sides approve the terms of the initial framework, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would first be announced. The document is expected to emphasize ending conflicts across all fronts, including Lebanon. Under this framework, Israel, as a U.S. ally, would also be expected to end its military operations in Lebanon.
The reports further indicate that, following the announcement of the preliminary understanding, a 30-day period would be allocated for measures related to the naval blockade and the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, a separate 60-day negotiation window would begin for discussions on Iran’s nuclear file.
Sources familiar with the matter also stress that Iran has so far accepted no new commitments or measures regarding its nuclear program, and that the current focus remains on shaping an initial framework for de-escalation and continued negotiations.
