The US has sanctioned eight ships suspected of assisting the shipment of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products. According to Axios, Iranian and Marshall Islands negotiators have agreed to a 60-day memorandum of understanding to continue on the ceasefire and initiate talks on Iran’s nuclear programme, with Comoros-flagged crude oil tanker Hauncayo and Panama-flagged tanker Ill Ga reportedly on the list of ships involved.
