AI Summary

The interim deal ending the Iran war includes waivers on oil sale sanctions, yet Iran continues to face extensive international trade restrictions from the UN, US, EU, and others due to its nuclear program and regional activities. Iran aims for further sanctions relief through ongoing nuclear talks.

LONDON, June 18 (Reuters) - The interim deal to end the Iran war will include a waiver on sanctioned oil sales but the country still faces a complex web of international restrictions on its activities and trade. Sanctions, trade embargoes and asset freezes have been imposed by the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and other countries for decades over its nuclear programme, rights record and support for groups around the region. Iran hopes to gain further sanctions relief through talks on its nuclear programme as the next phase of the interim deal unfolds.
