Last year, the White House defined new sanctions against Iran
to quench the country’s gas condensate export.
Iran’s Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zangane in interview with Mehr
News Agency said that sanctions have always existed, and what had happened was
only a propaganda action.
"Gas condensates have never been free of sanctions. It seems
that the US has done this as a propaganda act in order to sooth the Congress,”
he had stated.
Simultaneously with the statements, Iran’s Organization of
Pars Special Energy Economic Zone has reported that the country’s export of the
products has doubled in the past six months.
The report adds that over 4.809 million tons of gas
condensates, worth $4.34 billion has been exported from Persian Gulf terminals
to international markets.
The numbers show 22 percent increase in weight and 52
percent increase in value compared to the last year.
China, Japan, UAE, India, Turkey, Iraq, Taiwan, Thailand,
Malaysia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Armenia, Russia, Mozambique, Egypt,
Syria, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Qatar, Tanzania, the Philippines,
Ghana, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Georgia, South Korea and Mexico have been the
customers of Iran’s gas condensates in the period.
