Iraq Declares Force Majeure on All Foreign Oil Fields

On March 21, according to Reuters, sources from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil stated that Iraq has declared force majeure on all oil fields developed by foreign oil companies. This decision comes as military operations in the region have led to disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, preventing the export of a significant portion of the country's crude oil.

  • US Grants 30-Day Conditional Sanctions Waiver on Iranian Oil

    On March 21, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the United States approved a 30-day authorization on March 20th, conditionally easing sanctions on Iranian oil products. This allows for the delivery and sale of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products that were already loaded onto ships as of March 20th. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that the Treasury Department is issuing a "narrowly tailored, short-term authorization" to permit the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. By temporarily releasing existing oil supplies, the U.S. will quickly provide approximately 140 million barrels of oil to the global market. The temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil already in transit. (CCTV News)

  • Trump Considers Gradual De-escalation of Military Actions Against Iran

    On March 21st, U.S. President Donald Trump stated on his social media platform "Truth Social" on March 20th, local time, that as they consider a gradual de-escalation of major military operations against the Iranian regime in the Middle East, they are very close to achieving their established goals: completely weakening Iran's missile capabilities, launch platforms, and all related facilities. Destroying Iran's defense industry base. Eliminating Iran's naval and air force, including air defense weapon systems. Never allowing Iran to even approach nuclear capability; meanwhile, the United States must always maintain a posture that allows for a swift and forceful counterattack should such a situation arise. Protecting U.S. allies in the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other countries, with the highest level of force. Trump stated that the guarding and patrolling of the Strait of Hormuz should be undertaken by other countries that use the strait when necessary, and the United States will no longer bear this responsibility. If invited to assist, the United States is willing to provide support for these countries' operations in the Strait of Hormuz, but such assistance will no longer be necessary once the threat from Iran is completely eliminated. Particularly importantly, for these countries, this would be a relatively easy military operation. (CCTV News)
