Iran's oil minister says crude sales are holding up despite pressure. Still getting deliveries to distant buyers.

This matters because any disruption to Iranian supply—or lack thereof—shifts the calculus for $USO and broader energy positioning. If Iran keeps moving barrels, that's bearish for oil. If sanctions tighten or logistics break, we get the opposite.

Watch how this plays into OPEC+ decisions and whether the Saudis feel pressure to adjust output. Energy names have been coiling—this is the kind of headline that can tip sentiment either way.
