Outlets across the spectrum highlight different angles: Al Jazeera notes the broader war context, CNBC details the financial impact of the waivers, dw.com points to a cleared path for India to purchase Iranian oil, Bloomberg reports Iran’s rapid outreach to Asia’s largest oil importers, and Reuters quotes President Trump saying he will "do what I have to" if Tehran misbehaves.
