Iran threatens ‘consequences’ if US takes ‘crazy measure’ of blocking oil sales
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warns the United States of “consequences” if it prevents Tehran from selling oil with the ending of sanction exemptions over its energy exports.
“We believe that Iran will continue to sell its oil,” Zarif says at an event at the Asia Society in New York, according to the Reuters news agency. “We will continue to find buyers for our oil and we will continue to use the Strait of Hormuz as a safe transit passage for the sale of our oil.”
“If the United States takes the crazy measure of trying to prevent us from doing that then it should be prepared for the consequences.”
