🇺🇸❌🇮🇷🛢 #BREAKING - US Treasury Secretary just discussed the possibility to waive sanction for Iranian oil that is already at sea in an interview with Fox Business.

2⃣ The waiver would redirect the Iranian oil from China to US allies, alleviating the shortage. China would get less oil discount, but Iran would be able to sell its oil at a higher price.
3⃣ Bessent dismissed speculation that the Treasury is intervening in the oil market.
