Oil sanctions not surprises Iran

Iran's oil minister says the proposed sanctions on the Iranian oil sector by the US and its European allies is nothing new as the country has become accustomed to sanctions over the years.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of signing new oil and gas contracts, Rostam Qasemi said nothing new is going to happen with oil sanctions because Iran has been, and still is, subject to such sanctions.

“In all the years that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been subject to various sanctions, good use has been made of the opportunity of sanctions,” he added. “Despite this (sanctions) we will push ahead with our projects every day better than the past,” Qasemi said.
