U.S. Grants Eight Countries Temporary Iran Oil Sanctions Waivers
(Reuters-Los Angeles Times) The U.S. government has agreed to let eight countries, including close allies South Korea and Japan, as well as India, keep buying Iranian oil after it reimposes sanctions on Tehran next week, Bloomberg cited a U.S. official as saying. "Our goal remains to get to zero oil purchases from Iran as quickly as possible," said Robert Palladino, a State Department spokesman. "But we are prepared to work with countries that are reducing their imports on a case-by-case basis."
