SHANA -- A member of the Iranian parliament said Iran’s oil revenue had risen, adding no country had the means to stop Tehran from exporting crude oil.

Speaking to Shana, Gholamali Jafarzadeh said, “The sanctions, more than harming us, would be hurtful to the US; Trump policies have raised the global oil prices which would not be to our loss, and we have been able to find new customers for our oil.”

In October, Iran’s exports did not fluctuate much, he said, adding exports were still in order and revenues had risen.

“The reason for soaring oil prices is US sanctions on Iran. However, we would sell our oil by all means,” the MP said.
