US Eases Sanctions on Iran Amid Peace Talks and Oil Deal
The United States has temporarily eased sanctions on Iranian oil exports for a 60-day period, allowing for production, delivery, and sale until August 21. This development is linked to ongoing peace talks between the two nations, which have seen progress on issues like the Strait of Hormuz and IAEA inspections. While some reports indicate a potential peace agreement, others suggest continued disagreements and threats from the US side.
