Mousavi: Iran selling oil based on international regulations / American claim rejected

Pars Today - Iran's Deputy Oil Minister said, "The Iranian oil is sold with observing all accepted regulations and standards in the interactions related to the oil trade."

Seyyed Ali Mohammad Mousavi, Iran's Deputy Oil Minister for International Affairs and Trade, rejected on Monday the news about apprehension of a few Iranian tanker ships by the US due to forging official documents. According to Pars Today, Mousavi added, "Studies indicate that some talks have been mentioned incompletely and this allegation has been raised as quotation by American officials."

Iran's deputy oil minister made it clear, "Obviously, this claim of the American officials, which has been made in continuation of the country's illegal and unjustified policy to raise baseless allegations and exercise pressure against the Iranian nation, has no ground or credit."

Mousavi continued, "The sale of Iranian oil is being done with observing all accepted regulations and standards for interactions related to oil trade, and this kind of wicked obfuscation has no impact on the resolve of the oil ministry staff in fulfilling their legal duties and responsibilities."
