The first reaction of the Minister of Oil to the news of a billion-dollar oil discount to the Chinese
Javad Owji, the Minister of Oil, in response to Hashematollah Falahatpisheh’s remarks about the billion-dollar discount to the Chinese, said on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting that at no time, especially during the sanctions period, has this level of oil exports been achieved as it has in this period.
The value of oil exports and its condensates was over $35 billion last year. The claims about oil discounts are false and this issue is not correct at all.
