Just out from Reuters:
U.S. EXPECTED TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL SANCTIONS ON IRANIAN ENTITIES AS EARLY AS ON FRIDAY, SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER SAID
U.S. PLANS TO IMPOSE THE SANCTIONS IN A MANNER THAT WOULD NOT VIOLATE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL, SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER SAID
U.S. SANCTIONS HAVE BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR SOME TIME, ARE EXPECTED TO BE IMPOSED PARTLY BECAUSE OF RECENT IRANIAN BALLISTIC MISSILE TEST, SOURCES SAID
U.S. SANCTIONS EXPECTED TO INCLUDE ABOUT EIGHT IRANIAN ENTITIES UNDER EXISTING TERRORISM-RELATED EXECUTIVE ORDER AND ABOUT 17 UNDER EXISTING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION-RELATED ORDER, ONE SOURCE SAID
While we await more details, the fact that the Trump administration is in no hurry to scrap Obama’s Nuclear Deal is likely a suggestion that this particular draconian step will not be taken in the near future, if at all, and thus a potential major risk factor for higher oil prices can be eliminated for the time being.
