The United States has issued a sweeping 60-day waiver allowing Iran to export crude oil, petrochemicals, and petroleum products in U.S. dollars, marking the most significant rollback of sanctions since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The move, formalized as General License X by the Treasury's OFAC, permits transactions involving previously blocked vessels and even allows Iranian crude imports into the U.S. Source: CNBCSource: abces.
The waiver follows a first round of face-to-face talks in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, led by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, with mediation by Qatar and Pakistan. Vance described the talks as "very, very good" and announced that Iran had agreed to allow IAEA inspectors back into the country Source: elcaribedr. However, Iranian officials quickly disputed this, calling the claim "false and not in line with reality," noting that access to key nuclear facilities still requires approval from Iran's Parliament and Supreme National Security Council Source: larepublicaco (4420944)Source: elespanol (1003744295864).

“The U.S. Treasury on Monday issued a wide-ranging 60-day exemption allowing Iran to produce and sell crude oil, petrochemical and petroleum products in U.S. dollars through Aug. 21.”
“Entre las operaciones permitidas durante esos casi dos meses estarían 'las transacciones que involucren buques bloqueados' en virtud de las restricciones que suspende esta 'Licencia General X', así como la 'importación a Estados Unidos de crudo' y petroquímicos iraníes.”
“Irán permitirá nuevamente inspecciones independientes de sus instalaciones nucleares, anunciaba el vicepresidente estadounidense JD Vence antes de abandonar Suiza.”
“Sin embargo, funcionarios iraníes, que también mencionaron avances, refutaron dicha afirmación, declarando que la aseveración de Vance era 'falsa y no se ajusta a la realidad'.”
