The Trump administration has unexpectedly eased sanctions on Iran, permitting the country to sell oil and receive payment in US dollars. This marks the first time in decades Iran can conduct such transactions, even with American buyers. The decision, made by the US Treasury Department, temporarily suspends long-standing sanctions that formed a core component of economic pressure against the Islamic Republic. This move follows a recent agreement reached with Tehran, the details of which remain largely undisclosed. Experts suggest the easing of restrictions could significantly boost Iran’s oil revenue. The suspension is currently limited to a two-month period, raising questions about the long-term implications of this policy shift. The decision represents a notable departure from previous US policy towards Iran.
