Addressing a group of the Oil Ministry staff on Monday, Qasemi emphasized that Iran's oil market will never close because oil consumer countries need Iranian crude.
“There are many ways to easily sell oil one of which is to take advantage of businessmen and the private sector,” Qasemi said.
The oil minister stated that the enemies of Iran are trying to bring the country under their control because of its huge hydrocarbon resources.
“Fortunately, the Islamic establishment governs these unique reserves and the enemies are trying to either topple the government or prevent Iran's potential resources from being taken advantage of,” he noted.
The minister stressed that the world powers are seeking to separate the Iranian people from officials and the fuss over Tehran’s nuclear energy program is just an excuse to prevent Iran from becoming stronger.
