US Quietly Lifts Iran Oil Sanctions for 30 Days
Treasury just issued waivers lifting nearly all sanctions on Iranian oil tankers loaded on or before March 20, 2026. The window runs exactly 30 days: through April 19.
No fanfare. No press conference. Just a quiet carve-out while the administration publicly beats the war drums on Tehran.
The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued waivers temporarily lifting nearly all sanctions imposed on tankers originating from or carrying oil from the Islamic Republic of Iran, dubbed “Authorizing the Delivery and Sale of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products of Iranian-Origin Loaded on Vessels as of March 20, 2026” effective for vessels loaded on or before 12:01a.m. EST, March 20, 2026 through 12:01a.m. EST, April 19, 2026.
