US Lets Russian Oil Waiver Expire Quietly Amid Iran MOU Window
🛢️ SANCTIONS — The Iran MOU ink is dry; Russia's oil window just quietly closed. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Letting the Russian waiver lapse mid-MOU isn't coincidence — it tightens global supply as Iranian barrels try to re-enter. Europe, still weaning off Hormuz alternatives, absorbs the squeeze from both ends. For Tehran, it's leverage confirmation: Iranian crude is now needed. For Moscow, quiet punishment for the neutrality Trump publicly praised yesterday.
