Some color from US official on Iran sanction deal
A US official is adding some needed color to the Iran sanction headlines:
- treasury action is routine and has nothing to do with Iran nuclear deal talks, is simply regular delisting when facts so dictate
- U.S. Treasury removes one Iranian citizen (not three) listed as managing director of national Iranian oil company from list of specially designated nationals
The sanctions are on a former Iran oil official. It seems to not be a 'tell' on future sanction withdrawals as Iran nuclear talks continue without resolution.
