"Except as provided in paragraph (b), all transactions prohibited by the above-listed authorities that are ordinarily incident and necessary to the sale, delivery, or offloading of crude oil or petroleum products of Iranian origin loaded on any vessel, including vessels blocked under the above-listed authorities, on or before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time [04:01 GMT], March 20, 2026 are authorized through 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time, April 19, 2026," says the general license issued by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The license does not apply to transactions involving individuals and entities associated with North Korea, Cuba, Crimea and new Russian regions. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - a key route for supplying oil and liquefied natural gas from the Persian Gulf countries to global markets - has actually stopped. As a result, fuel prices are rising in most countries around the world.
