IRGC chief admits Iranian regime is in critical situation

A unilateral U.S. oil embargo on Iran is expected to remain in place even if a long-term nuclear agreement between Tehran and six world powers is reached that includes an easing of international sanctions, a U.S. official said on Thursday.
The embargo pre-dates the decade-long nuclear dispute with Iran. Washington cut off diplomatic ties with Tehran during a hostage crisis shortly following the 1979 Islamic Revolution and began imposing sanctions around the same time.
“The American domestic oil embargo is expected to remain in place even if a comprehensive agreement is reached,” the U.S. official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The U.S. official spoke after Iran and the six powers – Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States – agreed on an agenda and schedule for talks aimed at ending the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
