    Breaking news on the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal

    The withdrawal of the US from the Iranian nuclear deal will result in sanctions that could disrupt fertilizer and petrochemical exports from Iran. But the most significant consequence of the US withdrawal could be its effect on oil prices, which are already rising because of a number of trends that are increasing demand and limiting supply.

    ICIS editor, Al Greenwood, discusses the likelihood of sanctions against Iran and how this will affect the petrochemicals markets and contribute to rising oil prices.

    Stay-up-to date on the most up to recent news stories from ICIS and how the sanctions could affect the petrochemicals and energy markets. View here >>
