On July 7, 2026, the United States revoked a sanctions waiver, “General License X,” which allowed for the sale of Iranian oil (see: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5957647-iran-oil-sanctions-waiver-strait-of-hormuz/). This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States federal government issues a waiver, license, or equivalent sanctions-relief mechanism lifting US sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”. Actions which direct partial or full sanction relief will both qualify. However, qualifying actions must reverse, remove, waive, or suspend US penalties on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products, in whole or in part. Qualifying actions need not be permanent; temporary suspensions of sanctions will qualify. Relief issued for either primary or secondary sanctions will qualify. A re-issuance of the initial waiver will qualify. The full removal of any sanction on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products will also qualify. Continued sales of Iranian oil allowed during the wind-down period under this revocation order will not qualify. Mere extensions of the wind-down period, without issuance of a new qualifying sanctions-relief action, will not qualify. Once a qualifying sanctions relief action has been taken, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of any subsequent revocation. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United States federal government.Recent revocation of the U.S. Treasury’s 60-day general license for Iranian crude, petrochemicals, and petroleum products—issued in June 2026 and set to expire August 21—has become the dominant driver of trader positioning. That waiver, which permitted dollar-denominated transactions and shipping insurance after tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, was pulled in early July amid heightened regional tensions, cutting short an estimated $8–10 billion revenue windfall for Tehran. Oil-market participants now focus on whether renewed diplomatic engagement will prompt re-authorization before month-end, with implications for global supply balances, Brent and WTI price volatility, and Treasury enforcement precedent. Key upcoming catalysts include any extension decision tied to Strait of Hormuz access, IAEA inspections, or broader nuclear talks, alongside standard seasonal demand patterns and OPEC+ production signals that could amplify or mute sanction-relief effects on energy benchmarks.
