Iran war update: June 23
- U.S. sanctions waivers now allow Iran to sell oil in U.S. dollars, the United States Treasury Department announced yesterday. This is the first time it has allowed this since 2016 through 2018 under Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
- The sanctions relief comes hours after Vice President JD Vance claimed Iran had agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor its nuclear program. Iranian state media disputed the claim, stating Iran hasn’t made any such new commitments.
