The United States has suspended sanctions on the production, sale, and transport of Iranian crude oil for a period of 60 days.
The decision follows productive diplomatic negotiations in Switzerland and is contingent on Iran guaranteeing freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
The move has been confirmed by multiple international news outlets, including Tagesschau and Ekstrabladet, which reported on the agreement reached during the Swiss talks.
The suspension allows for temporary resumption of exports until August, marking a significant de-escalation in long-standing energy restrictions between the two nations.
This development represents a shift in the geopolitical landscape surrounding Middle Eastern energy supplies.
By linking the lifting of sanctions to security guarantees in one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints, the US aims to stabilize shipping routes while maintaining leverage over Tehran.
