TEHRAN: Iran is maintaining oil gross sales thru "unconventional" way to bypass US sanctions, oil minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh stated in an interview printed on Saturday.
"We have unofficial or unconventional sales, all of which are secret, because if they are made known America would immediately stop them," he stated, quoted by way of the oil ministry's information agency.
Zanganeh declined to offer main points on Iran's oil exports, announcing he would not divulge figures till sanctions were lifted.
In May 2018, Washington withdrew from Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with global powers that granted Tehran sanctions relief in change for curbs on its atomic programme.
Washington reimposed oil sanctions on Iran final November, but to begin with gave 8 countries, together with several allies akin to China, six-month waivers.
Iran's oil shipments tumbled to 750,000 barrels in step with day in April compared to 1.5 million in October, in step with information compiled by way of Bloomberg.
The White House in May ended all of the waivers as part of a "maximum pressure" marketing campaign in opposition to Tehran.
According to Zanganeh, the US has reached an "evil maturity" in tightening the noose on Iran's financial system using "smart sanctions".
"The most severe organised sanctions in history are currently being imposed on Iran," he stated.
