Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s oil sector has faced some issues since the start of a US blockade of Iranian ports, but the oil ministry has taken countermeasures, Iran’s Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad tells state TV, without specifying the measures.
“During the 40 days of war, our production didn’t decrease and the export process was favorable,” Paknejad says. “Naturally, in the days following the (US) blockade, we have faced challenges but measures were taken and this process continues” adding “the enemy is full of delusions.”
