Iran calls on the United States and Europe to lift sanctions on Iran to ease the global energy crisis

  Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, October 5 (Reporter Wang Shoubao Gao Wencheng) According to Iran’s National Television on the 5th, Iranian Petroleum Minister Javad Ogi recently called on the United States and European countries to lift sanctions on Iran to ease the global energy crisis.

  After attending the 21st Ministerial Meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC oil-producing countries on the 4th, Ogi said that the United States and some European countries have hindered Iran’s oil exports for many years, and Iran is not the only party paying the price. The border policy also has a negative impact on the people of the United States and Europe.

  Ogi said that Iran is willing to increase oil production and stabilize the energy market.

Policymakers in the US and European countries should "learn lessons" and lift sanctions against Iran to alleviate the global energy crisis and allow countries around the world to obtain cheaper energy.

  Iran is OPEC's third largest oil producer.

In May 2018, the U.S. government unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, and subsequently restarted and added a series of sanctions against Iran. In particular, the implementation of the “zero exemption” blockade on Iranian oil exports in May 2019 severely hindered Iranian oil exports. .
