US Revokes Iranian Oil License: Impact on Energy Markets

The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued a new general license regarding Iranian oil. This license replaces the temporary license issued on June 21, which allowed the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian crude oil, petrochemicals, and petroleum products. As of July 7, no transactions involving the purchase or loading of these products will be permitted. The previous license allowed for the completion and settlement of existing transactions, with a deadline of July 17. The new license revokes the temporary exemption for Iranian oil, petrochemicals, and petroleum products, which was set to expire on August 21. This development may cause fluctuations in energy markets and affect oil prices, with an expected 5% price increase. Additionally, this decision may impact our country's energy imports and exchange rates, with an anticipated 2% fluctuation in exchange rates. This situation highlights the importance of measures to ensure the stability of energy markets.
