Iran responds to US claims of "easing sanctions" by saying it is conducting psychological manipulation of the market.

On the evening of the 20th local time, Saman Ghoddusi, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum, stated through his personal social media account that at present, Iran basically has no remaining crude oil stranded at sea, nor is there any excess crude oil available for supply to other international markets. The relevant statements made by US Treasury Secretary Besent are purely to create hope for buyers, provide psychological comfort, and psychologically control the market.
