❗️Tehran blasts US ‘oil waiver’ claims as market manipulation, says Iran has no oil on international waters

Iran’s Oil Ministry has rejected claims by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that Washington temporarily eased sanctions to release Iranian crude “stored on the water,” calling the remarks a calculated attempt to sway global markets. In a sharp response, the ministry insisted Tehran holds no offshore reserves and has no excess supply awaiting entry into international markets, dismissing the narrative as a deliberate psychological operation.

Ministry spokesperson Saman Ghodousi reinforced that Iran has neither floating crude nor surplus exports, accusing Washington of trying to influence buyers and artificially temper soaring prices. The denial comes as the Trump administration issued a 30-day waiver on Iranian oil sales, claiming it could inject 140 million barrels into strained global supply chains.

The move follows a sharp escalation in the US-Israeli war on Iran, which has driven oil prices above $100 per barrel and disrupted flows through the Strait of Hormuz. With the vital corridor effectively shut and regional energy infrastructure under attack, analysts warn Washington’s stopgap measures will have little impact unless maritime routes are fully reopened.
