Iran’s Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad stated Wednesday that Tehran is prepared for any potential oil export restrictions following the reelection of Donald Trump, who will begin his second term in January 2025. Speaking to local journalists, Paknejad emphasized that, regardless of Trump’s return to office, Iran’s oil sales will remain unaffected. He said that the ministry has independently developed strategies to increase exports, including the expansion of small refineries supported by private sector investment. The minister also reassured that there would be no issues with supplying crude oil to these refineries. The Iranian minister mentioned that national policies regarding the oil market will continue to be implemented in the same way regardless of who is in office in the White House.
