Trump weighs lifting sanctions on Chinese buyers of Iranian oil

May 15, 2026, 12:06 GMT+1

US President Donald Trump said he will decide in the coming days whether to lift sanctions on Chinese oil companies purchasing Iranian crude, signaling a possible shift in enforcement of US measures on Tehran’s energy exports.

Trump also disputed reports that Iran retained much of its missile arsenal during the conflict. “They say Iran maintained its missile capacity. No, 80% is gone,” he said.
