The United States will allow Iran to immediately begin selling oil and fuel as part of the agreement to end the war, thus providing Tehran with an early financial incentive to reduce and end the conflict. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources involved in the details of the agreement. According to the sources, the clause regarding the granting of exemptions from sanctions on oil sales will take effect immediately upon signing the agreement this week. A senior American official clarified that although Iran will receive immediate relief from sanctions on oil sales, further relief will be conditional on its compliance with U.S. demands on issues such as opening the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program. Additionally, Tehran will still not have immediate access to billions of dollars in frozen funds.
