Iran Press/America: US President Donald Trump has granted sanctions waivers for Russian, European and Chinese companies doing non-proliferation work with the AEOI, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
Last November, the United States re-imposed sanctions on the AEOI after Washington withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear agreement.
Washington withdrew unilaterally from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018, and reimposed the toughest-ever sanctions against the country and started a plan to zero down Tehran's oil sales. The US also imposed sanctions on certain Chinese entities for knowingly transferring oil from Iran.
The US sanctions re-imposed against Iran have resulted in increased tensions in the Persian Gulf region, while also damaging mutual trust between Washington and Tehran.
