Iran Oil Waiver Offers Lifeline to Tehran as Talks Proceed

विवरण

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The US issued a 60-day license allowing Iran to sell oil on the international market, giving Tehran an economic lifeline as the two adversaries continued talks for a permanent peace deal. Vice President JD Vance, attending the discussions in Switzerland, described the first round of negotiations as "very, very good" and said Iran had agreed to allow nuclear inspectors back into the country — a claim later backed up by President Donald Trump. But Iranian officials, who also cited progress, challenged that claim, saying Vance's assertion was "false and does not reflect reality." For a closer look at what is going on in the oil market, we speak to Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg's Asia Energy Team Leader.
