The Biden Administration has signaled its willingness to ease some US sanctions, including against Iran’s oil and finance sectors, to advance talks over the 2015 nuclear deal.
The Trump Administration imposed the comprehensive measures on energy and finance in November 2018, six months after withdrawing from the agreement. Iran’s oil exports fell up to 95% from April 2018, before a partial recovery last year.
“People familiar with the matter” said the restrictions would be pulled back as discussions progress in Vienna with Iran, the European Union, and the other powers in the deal (UK, France, Germany, China, and Russia).

Israel’s ‘shadow’ war with Iran risks playing out in the open

When Iran and the world powers signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015 after years of painstaking negotiations, Israel was among the few countries that opposed the agreement, arguing that it would not contain its adversary’s nuclear program for the long term. After the Donald Trump administration quit the deal in May 2018, Israel escalated a shadow war with Iran to disrupt Iranian shipping and retard Iran’s nuclear advances, as the Islamic Republic had stopped implementing its JCPOA commitments in response. That war has now come increasingly into the open and threatens to complicate the Joe Biden administration’s efforts to revive the nuclear deal and could spark a wider conflict.
