Speaking to reporters on the sidelines at the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, he emphasized that Iran’s oil ministry is adopting effective and necessary measures to counter the snapback mechanism if it is activated.
“Of course, we will take necessary steps based on the situation,” he emphasized.
Turning to the volume of oil sales, Paknejad said his ministries had no problem exporting oil overseas, exporting more than 21,000 barrels of oil (BPD) per day in the first four months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21 to July 21, 2025).
On August 29, Pakhnejad said snapback sanctions could cause partial obstacles for oil sales, but Iran is ready to maintain its exports and overcome restrictions.
He acknowledged that reinvigorating snapback sanctions could impose restrictions on oil sales, but emphasized that the country is not helpless in the face of these challenges.
Iran’s oil minister emphasized that the Iranian oil industry has gained valuable experience in bypassing restrictions and maintaining oil sales in recent years. He added that the provincial specialist team is ready to plan and adapt to ensure continued exports under various sanctions conditions.
