New rules for oil
The USA punishes Iran. They forbid the sale of oil. Two weeks ago this was allowed. Now the USA takes back the permission. The finance ministry in Washington says this.
Attacks on ships
People attacked ships at sea. The ships sailed through the Strait of Hormuz. This is an important sea route. Unknown people shot 3 tankers there. A tanker with gas from Qatar caught fire.
Oil prices rise
Iran says: We are not guilty. But the USA does not believe this. Because of the new bans the oil price rises. Oil costs over 3 percent more now. Experts at the stock market notice this immediately.
Talks continue
The USA and Iran keep talking. They want a deal. Iran must not build atomic weapons. In return Iran can do more trade. The situation remains very difficult.
