Trump Signals US May Ease Iran Oil Sanction Enforcement to Help Rebuild Country
- On June 25, 2025, US President Donald Trump indicated at a NATO summit in The Hague that the US might ease oil sanction enforcement on Iran to aid reconstruction.
- This followed Israel's surprise attack on Iran's nuclear sites on June 13 and Trump's earlier plan to lift sanctions, which he abandoned after Iran's Supreme Leader's critical remarks.
- Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff indicated that some sanctions had been eased as a gesture toward China, the largest importer of Iranian oil, which has consistently resisted the sanctions.
- Trump acknowledged that Iran would require financial resources to recover, expressing a desire for such progress, while Senate Republicans insisted that sanctions should remain in place until Iran halts its terrorist activities and grants full access to international inspectors.
- Potential sanction easing could boost Iranian oil exports amid an oversupplied market, risking crude price drops, while Iran remains interested in dialogue despite continued US pressure.
