- US agreed to temporarily waive sanctions on Iranian oil during the ongoing negotiations.
- The proposed US framework offers a temporary exemption via the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
- Iran continues to demand the permanent lifting of all economic sanctions.
The United States has agreed to temporarily lift sanctions on Iranian oil within a newly drafted negotiating framework.
A source close to the diplomatic negotiating team confirmed the development to Tasnim news agency, noting that the concession marks a distinct shift from the previous texts put forward by American negotiators.
Under the terms of the updated text, the US has consented to waive oil sanctions specifically during the active negotiation period.
A sanctions waiver represents a temporary exemption or provisional lifting of economic penalties, rather than a permanent policy reversal.

Frictions persist
Despite the breakthrough in the text, a significant gap remains between the two sides regarding the ultimate scope of the relief.
The United States has proposed a temporary suspension of restrictions enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which would remain in place only until a final, comprehensive understanding is officially reached.
However, the Iranian delegation is maintaining a rigid stance on the nature of the economic rollbacks.
Iran continues to insist that the permanent lifting of all sanctions levied against the country must be included as an absolute, binding component of the United States' core commitments before a final deal can be finalized.
