US Treasury issues 60-day Iran oil sanctions waiver as Washington-Tehran talks enter critical stretch
Treasury's 60-day wind-down license for Iranian oil buyers runs until 21 August 2026, and the negotiating clock inside it is shorter than the sanctions clock it sits on top of.

Desk note: Monexus treated this as a Treasury-action story with a diplomatic frame, not a diplomacy story with a sanctions illustration. The four available source items agree on the 60-day duration and the 21 August expiry date; the variation in covered commodities is preserved in the body rather than resolved by editorial fiat. We have not attributed a position to the Iranian negotiating team, because none of the source items contain one.
