Iran has started discussions on resuming oil exports to Japan, though potential buyers are seeking a longer US sanctions waiver and assurances that shipping through the Persian Gulf will remain safe, three Iranian and Western sources told Reuters.
The United States authorized Iranian oil sales in June as part of efforts to reach a final peace agreement with Tehran, with the current sanctions waiver allowing exports of Iranian crude and petroleum products through Aug 21.
Japan was once a major buyer of Iranian crude before US sanctions were tightened after President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018. China has remained Iran's main oil customer in recent years.
