The U.S. State Department on Wednesday renewed six-month waivers on Iran
sanctions for China and India and seven other countries in exchange for their
agreeing to reduce purchases of crude oil from Iran “significantly,” Reuters reported
today.
The waivers mean that financial institutions in the consumer countries
do not risk being cut off from the U.S. financial system for the next six
months. U.S. and EU sanctions have cut Iran's oil exports by about half since they
went into force last year, driving Iran’s crude exports to their lowest level
in decades.
