US Treasury makes two Iran-related permissions official

The US Treasury Department formally published two general licenses related to Iran. These licenses make certain transactions with Iran officially permissible, providing clearer legal backing for activities that were already allowed.

The formal publication of these licenses provides legal clarity and certainty for businesses and individuals. It means that transactions previously allowed through informal guidance are now explicitly protected by law, reducing legal risk. This could encourage more activity in the specific areas covered by the licenses, as actors face less uncertainty about potential penalties.
