The United States has decided not to extend the temporary waiver on sanctions for Russian and Iranian oil. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the 30-day exemption, granted to stabilize the global energy market during the ongoing Middle East conflict, will not be renewed. He confirmed at a White House briefing that the waiver for Russian oil had already expired last week, and no further extension would be granted for Iran either.
Earlier, the US had allowed limited unloading and sale of Russian and Iranian oil that had been shipped before the sanctions deadline, citing rising global oil prices and supply shortages. According to Bessent, the temporary measure enabled the release of approximately 140 million barrels of oil into the global market, helping to ease supply pressures during wartime conditions.
The decision signals Washington’s intent to resume full enforcement of sanctions, potentially tightening global oil supply and influencing energy market stability in the near term.
