In a dramatic shift in US policy toward Iran, President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding on June 17. The memorandum provides for the removal of all US sanctions on Iran according to an agreed timetable, according to a report by Fortune magazine.
The agreement comes after years of intensifying US sanctions on Iran and marks a sharp reversal from the "maximum pressure" policy previously pursued by the Trump administration. The lifting of sanctions is expected to significantly boost Iranian oil exports, potentially weighing on global crude prices and negatively impacting Gulf oil producers.
