The United States allows scrap ship dealers to purchase sanctioned Iranian vessels.

Mars Finance News, May 21 — According to market sources, the United States has granted a license allowing a major shipbreaking buyer to purchase four ships that were sanctioned for carrying cargo related to Iran. This move could open a legal exit route for some ships in the "shadow fleet" used by Iran and Russia to transport sanctioned goods, which has expanded under Western sanctions. These ships linked to Iran-related networks will be dismantled and recycled. U.S. officials stated that this case-by-case licensing approach could be used more broadly to help remove high-risk ships from global waters.

The stricter the Western sanctions, the more valuable the gray exit channels become.

Shadow fleet this move is clever, dismantling and recycling is much easier than fighting head-on

Each case's two characters are very important, the right to interpret belongs to me

Sanctions are sanctions, but scrap metal still needs to be sold, honestly.

Dismantling rather than confiscating, leaving face for all parties and also leaving room for maneuver

Will the licensing system loosen up, and will there be a subsequent batch release?

This operation is like installing a pressure relief valve for the shadow economy.

Four ships change routes, Iran's logistics network needs to be re-wired.

Case-by-case licensing = flexible enforcement, Americans have their own set of rules to play by
