Middlemen offer Iranian oil to Indian refiners after US waiver, traders say

Middlemen are offering Indian refiners discounted Iranian oil as Tehran seeks to accelerate sales after Washington's temporary sanctions waiver. The report points to potential near-term supply and pricing effects in the crude market, but it is largely a flow update rather than a major policy shift. Market impact is likely limited unless the waiver terms or purchase volumes change materially.
