Reuters has reported that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is making plans to sell oil in direct contravention of the sanctions reimposed by the United States on its crucial energy & banking sectors. The US has said it will temporarily allow eight importers including China, India, South Korea, Japan and Turkey, to keep buying Iranian oil when it re-imposes sanctions aimed at forcing Tehran to curb its nuclear, missile and regional ambitions.
