Iran Deputy Speaker Says US Cannot Bring Iranian Oil Exports to Zero
Ali Nikzad said Washington has miscalculated Iran's military capabilities and national unity amid US pressure on Iran's oil trade.

Iran's Deputy Parliament Speaker Ali Nikzad said the United States will never be able to reduce Iran's oil exports to zero, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Speaking in the city of Sari, Nikzad said Washington had miscalculated Iran's military capabilities and the unity of its population in the face of sustained economic pressure. His remarks reflect a position Iranian officials have repeatedly voiced in response to years of US sanctions targeting Iran's energy sector.
The United States has for years sought to curb Iran's oil exports as part of a broader sanctions regime tied to Tehran's nuclear program and regional activities. Iranian officials have consistently argued that the country has adapted its export channels and trading partners to withstand the restrictions.
Nikzad's comments were not accompanied by new economic data on Iran's current oil export volumes, but align with statements from other Iranian officials asserting that sanctions have not achieved their intended economic effect.
