[Photo] 🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: The Trump administration may lack legal standing to waive US sanctions [...]

— NEW: The Trump administration may lack legal standing to waive US sanctions on Iranian oil under last week’s agreement, but is moving ahead regardless, Semafor reports. The Obama-era Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act bars the president from waiving Iran sanctions while Congress reviews any nuclear-related agreement. Trump’s Office of Legal Counsel drafted a memo concluding sanctions can be temporarily lifted without Congress, per VP JD Vance. Harvard Law’s Jack Goldsmith says the administration likely lacks the authority, but any legal challenge is “likely to fail” for lack of standing. A former Treasury official cautioned full sanctions unwinding and US firms entering Iran’s market remains far off, requiring complex legal changes and private-sector buy-in.@IntelSlava
