IranPress/Iran news: Speaking at a parliamentary commission on Wednesday, Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani considered Iran's oil export up to 1.5 billion barrels a day as the satisfactory level of export.
The top parliamentarian went on to stress the fact that unlike US promise to decrease Iran's oil sale to the minimum, country's oil sale is underway and Iran enjoys good ties with its neighbors, IranPress reported.
Referring to the remarks of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Larijani said that the budget should be customized according to the situations created by sanctions and structural reform is needed to cut dependency to oil.
Furthermore, he called the fields of tourism and handicrafts as the effective ones in generating dozens of job opportunities.
Earlier on October 14, Referring to US claim that it can reduce Iran's oil exports to zero, Es’hagh Jahangiri, Iran's first vice president emphasized the impossibility of the task, saying Washington will fail in its bid.
The Trump administration had threatened to bring down Iran's oil exports to zero, but now the administration has decided to allow some countries to continue importing Iranian oil.
Back in May, the US withdrew from a 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement with Iran and said it would re-introduce the sanctions that had been lifted under the accord.
Washington reinstated a series of unilateral sanctions against Iran in early August and would re-impose a second batch in November which would primarily be meant to undermine Tehran’s oil exports.101/203
