According to the news agency, Iran sees oil supplies to "a friendly country like Japan" to be a positive development and hopes for Japanese investment in the energy sector after reaching a final agreement with the United States

Iran is negotiating to resume oil exports to Japan under a 60-day US sanctions waiver, with implications for energy markets, risk sentiment, and crypto.
