USA did not import oil from Iran this year. This was said at a press conference, the official representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Said Hatibzade, commenting on the supply of Iranian oil to the United States in March, reports TASS.
“As for this issue, I do not have such information. Since the days of the former US President Clinton Washington did not buy oil from Iran in accordance with the law adopted by him, – said Khatibzade. – Probably, we are talking about something else, But I have no details on this score. “
May 28 Energy Information Management (EIA) The US Ministry of Energy published materials from which it follows that in March Iran for the first time since November 1991 exported oil to the United States with a total volume of 1.03 million barrels. According to EIA, another delivery of oil and petroleum products from Iran is registered in October 2020. Its volume is 1.11 million barrels.
As you know, in the early 1990s, Washington, against the background of exacerbation of relations with Tehran, completely stopped importing Iranian oil.
