How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|

| USO | US oil exposure would benefit from lower crude prices if Iranian exports return but lose if the offer fails and disruption persists. | Mixed1-4w | The relief proposal could affect Iranian oil sanctions, but no relief was announced as effective. |
| IRR | Credible sanctions relief and released funds could improve Iran's access to foreign currency and support the rial. | Up1-3m | The reported proposal includes unfreezing Iranian assets, while the rial had recently reached a record low. |
