IRGC ready to act on Rouhani's warning on US oil bans: Chief commander
Tehran (KNA) - Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it stands ready to put in action President Hassan Rouhani's latest position that if Tehran were not able to export its crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz, no other country would be able to do so.
The IRGC commander's remarks came after President Rouhani delivered a stern warning to the US during his recent European tour against any attempt to block Iranian oil exports in the light of its withdrawal in May from the 2015 nuclear deal.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Swiss counterpart, Alain Berset, in the Swiss capital, Bern, on Tuesday, Rouhani said the US would never be able to carry out such a threat.
Rouhani said it was "incorrect and unwise" to think that "one day all oil producing countries would export their surplus oil and Iran would be the only country that cannot export its oil."
