US media focuses on whether the United States will purchase Iranian oil

Golden Ten Data reported on March 21 that after the United States conditionally relaxed sanctions on Iranian oil, a reporter from the AXIOS website stated that this move would allow Iran to obtain approximately 14 billions USD in oil revenue. This would be the first time since 1996 that the United States has purchased Iranian oil, all happening amid ongoing conflict with Iran. However, The New York Times pointed out that it is still unclear whether the limited lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil will affect global oil prices. Energy analysts believe that most of the crude oil currently transported by sea has already been purchased and accounted for, meaning that lifting sanctions on these oils will not significantly increase the supply of oil in the market. Former U.S. Treasury official Daniel Tannenbaum said, "I don't think Iranian crude oil will be imported into the United States," "Firstly, the supply of crude oil is an issue because most of it has already been booked; secondly, which global bank is providing funding for Iranian oil trade, regardless of whether such trade is legal?"
