Iran Defies US Sanctions with Ongoing Oil Sales

Iran's oil minister, Mohsen Paknejad, has stated that despite US naval blockades and tightened sanctions, the country's crude oil sales have not been interrupted.

Paknejad made these comments on the 27th, citing a decrease in sales volume but emphasizing that delivery of crude oil to customers continues unabated, even for those located in distant waters.

The minister declined to provide specific details regarding Iran's oil exports, citing concerns that releasing this information could aid the US in its efforts to isolate Iran economically.
