## Executive Summary
US lifts Iran oil sanctions, opening billions in revenue and sparking a scramble for Asian buyers

## Intelligence Brief
The United States has issued sweeping waivers on Iran oil sanctions, unlocking billions in revenue for Tehran, according to coverage from CNBC and Reuters. The move coincides with the 116th day of the Iran‑Israel conflict and a ceasefire holding in Lebanon, as reported by Al Jazeera.


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. Future coverage will likely track Iran’s oil sales to Asian markets, any further statements from the United States regarding Tehran’s actions, and the response of regional buyers such as India as the waiver takes effect.
