00:00The energy crisis caused by the United States' Israeli war against Iran has forced Washington to leave some of the
00:06sanctions imposed on Iranian oil.
00:07Late on Friday, the U.S. Treasury Department temporarily suspended sanctions for 30 days on Iranian crude oil and petroleum
00:14products already loaded on vessels.
00:16This measure comes amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East that, after constant aggressions by the U.S. and
00:22Israel,
00:22prompted Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important waterways for oil and natural gas
00:28transport.
00:29In this scenario, the Donald Trump administration has been heavily criticized for triggering the rise in global oil prices,
00:36also causing the support for his government to decline among U.S. citizens.
