Iran says US not able to prevent its oil exports
Tehran (KNA) - Iran says the US can never prevent it from selling crude oil to international clients, stressing that no other supplier can substitute the kind of oil it provides to overseas markets.
Iran's First Vice President Es'haq Jahangiri was quoted by media as saying that the government of President Hassan Rouhani had already devised mechanisms to counter the impacts of returning US sanctions against the country's oil exports.
Jahangiri emphasized that Iran had serious plans to maintain oil exports above one million barrels per day.
"Iran exported as much as 2.5 million barrels per day of oil over the past months," he told a local insurance industry conference. "There had been a decline of a few thousand barrels per day. But we have always emphasized that Iran's exports should not decline below one million barrels per day."
