IRAN: US Treasury: Update to General License for Iran Crude Sales

Jul-07 19:03

The US Treasury revoked General License X issued on June 21, 2026 and issued Iran-related General License X1 today. 

  • Today’s revoking of that issuance indicates that authorizations for Iranian crude imports into the US made on June 21st is no longer authorized.
  • The initial issuance from June authorized the Production, Delivery and Sale of Crude Oil, Petrochemical Products, and Petroleum Products of Iranian-Origin through August 21, 2026.
  • It stated that “Transactions authorized by this general license include the importation into the United States of crude oil, petrochemical products, and petroleum products of Iranian origin, where such importation is ordinarily incident and necessary to the sale, delivery, or offloading of such crude oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products authorized by this general license.”
  • The revoking comes on a day when several vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, including from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, were attacked by Iranian forces.
  • This revoking by the US treasury is likely in response to Iran’s actions today and an attempt to reapply pressure on Iran for the ongoing negotiations and the MOU that was agreed to stating free and uninterrupted transit through the Strait.
