Iran could cool boiling oil prices

If US sanctions are lifted, Iran will be able to export millions of barrels of crude oil to cool down the boiling prices of oil.

The US President’s administration restored sanctions waivers to Iran on Friday.

Iran has so far refused to sit down with U.S. diplomats but the officials from both nations are expected to meet on Tuesday in the Austrian capital.

The price of crude oil is expected to surpass the mark of US$100 per barrel amid robust demand and tight supplies. Oil has already gained 20% in 2022.
