Removing sanctions on Iran oil will bring supplies into ports, US energy secretary says

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said removing sanctions on stranded Iranian oil would let supplies reach Asia within three to four days. The remark signals a potential rapid increase in seaborne crude availability if sanctions were lifted, which could ease regional tightness and put downward pressure on prices. No policy action or timing was announced, so immediate market effects are speculative but noteworthy for energy desks monitoring sanctions developments.
