The former Deputy of Commerce and International Affairs of the Ministry of Oil: As long as we are in conflict with the world, we must forget about gas trade.
Ali Majedi, the former Deputy of Commerce and International Affairs of the Ministry of Oil, stated in an interview with ILNA:
We potentially have the second-largest gas reserves in the world, but we have always lost the trade due to lack of investment because of sanctions. We haven’t had serious gas exports, while Qatar has signed numerous contracts with Total and American companies. None of these companies come to Iran due to sanctions. As long as we maintain policies of conflict with the world, we must forget about gas trade.
We cannot confront the world and boast, then expect investors to come to Iran. We must change our way of interacting with the world and be able to use the country’s resources optimally. In this case, all companies will return.
