U.S. Cannot Stop Iran Oil Exports: Zangeneh
TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- The United States cannot stop Iranian oil exports by imposing sanctions on Tehran, Iran’s minister of petroleum said on Tuesday, warning that such restrictions will ensure the market remains volatile.
"As long as America targets Iran, one of the biggest crude producers, with sanctions, the volatility in the oil market will continue,” Bijan Zangeneh said. "Iranian oil exports cannot be stopped,” Zanganeh said. President Hassan Rouhani also said "the animosity of the current U.S. government towards Iran and the Iranians is unprecedented,” but added that Washington would fail to achieve its goals.
