According to the international group Tasnim News Agency According to Reuters, the United States on Saturday did not extend the exemption from sanctions that previously allowed countries including India to buy Russian oil.
This waiver was previously extended for one month to reduce oil supply shortages and high prices caused by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant previously said that he would not renew the license to buy Russian oil stored on tankers.
As of Saturday afternoon Washington time, no notice of extension had been posted on the Treasury Department’s website.
The spokesperson of this ministry also refused to comment further in this regard.
