The Saudis have yet to officially confirm, but this will likely be resolved at the OPEC meeting in June. It\u2019s not like oil-producing countries wouldn\u2019t relish the chance to increase their market share.<\/p>\n<p>Now oil prices did initially rise after the US announcement, but they didn\u2019t jump that much and are expected to go down again soon. After all, the oil market is at present oversupplied. There are several other factors affecting the price of oil as well, including the crisis in Venezuela and the contaminated oil from the Russian pipeline, so it is unfair to pin the price rise solely on US sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite US sanctions, however, many fear that it is impossible to get Iran exports to actually fall to zero immediately because Iran will likely smuggle its oil out through neighbouring Iraq, which highlights the dangers of allowing the Regime to get so much influence over the region.<\/p>\n<p>Another way that Iran could evade the sanctions is through selling their oil in non-dollar-denominated transactions, according to Tamar Essner, director of energy and utilities at Nasdaq Corporate Solutions, who estimates that 800,000-900,000 of Iran\u2019s 1.3 million barrels of oil per day could come off the market.<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge comes from China and Turkey who have spoken out against the sanctions, with China publically vowing not to comply. However, this could all be bluster, so we will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that even if these sanctions cause some short term pain in the case of higher oil prices, getting rid of the Iranian Regime is still worth it to protect global security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Shahriar Kia The U.S. significantly tightened its energy sanctions against the Iranian regime this week when it removed sanctions waivers for eight countries that had been allowed to continue buying [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":53091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[178],"class_list":["post-26155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran-a-world","tag-save"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
