Iran is preparing for a return to the international oil and gas market after the agreement is reached as all parties generally believe that the negotiation between the parties involved in the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue has entered the "final stage".

　　Analysts pointed out that if the sanctions on Iran are lifted, a large amount of oil supply is expected to return to the market, so as to hedge the impact of the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict and other factors on international oil prices.

　　fully prepare

　　Iranian Oil Minister Javad Ogi said on March 3 that Iran was "fully prepared" to restore oil production and exports to levels before the imposition of U.S. sanctions on Iran in 2018.

After sanctions are lifted, Iran can ensure a stable export share in the world market, both technically and operationally.

　　After the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and imposed severe sanctions on almost all important economic fields such as Iran's oil and finance, Iran's daily average oil exports dropped sharply from over 2.5 million barrels before the sanctions to less than 1 million barrels. Only 100,000 barrels.

　　Iran's Economic Affairs and Finance Minister Ihsan Handuzzi said recently that Iran will continue to attach importance to its "special role in the oil and gas market."

The oil and gas sector is an important economic sector in Iran, and Iranian officials have focused on increasing oil and gas production capacity to boost Iran's economic growth.

　　Bloomberg previously quoted data from market research firm Kepler as saying that Iran is transferring more crude oil to ships and that exports can be accelerated once the Iran nuclear talks are successful.

Oil on Iranian tankers has risen by 30 million barrels since early December to 103 million barrels.

　　In addition, the foreign ministries of Iran and South Korea have previously confirmed separately that the two countries have held talks on resuming crude oil trade and thawing Iranian funds.

According to reports, South Korea, India, Japan and other major buyers of Iranian oil refiners are preparing to resume imports from Iran.

　　active diplomacy

　　Iranian President Rahi went to Qatar to attend the sixth summit of the Natural Gas Exporters Forum in February.

He urged the international community to resist "brutal" unilateral U.S. sanctions on other countries' oil and gas industries.

　　Leahy said that Iran has large natural gas reserves and considerable production, transmission and export capabilities, and hopes to play a greater role in ensuring global energy security by expanding bilateral and multilateral cooperation with other countries, including its neighbors, and by increasing Natural gas production and export to provide as much clean fuel as possible to regional countries.

　　Mohammad Ahbari, an Iranian foreign policy expert, advised Rahi's government to develop an energy strategy based on geopolitics on a larger scale.

　　"If we supply energy to other countries, including European countries, our security will be linked to their security," Ahbari said.

　　"last phase"

　　Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Khatibzad said on social media on March 3 that all parties to the negotiations were now "focusing on the last critical steps."

　　US State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter told reporters that day: "We are close to a possible deal," but there are still unresolved issues, and given the speed at which Iran's nuclear activities are progressing, time is of the essence.

　　Analysts pointed out that the situation in Ukraine has led to a surge in the prices of natural gas and crude oil in the international market, and the expectation that Iran will resume exporting crude oil to the world market has limited the increase in oil prices.

A final agreement will help further stabilize international oil prices.

　　U.S. think tank Eurasia Group analyst Henry Romee said that if sanctions are lifted, Iran's sizable oil reserves will return to global markets, easing the rise in fuel prices that has plagued the U.S. government.

This is conducive to prompting the United States to quickly reach a deal.

　　Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran and an adviser to Iran's negotiating team, said Western countries should consider the implications before imposing sanctions on Iran's oil and gas.

Western governments "must accept Iran's red lines in negotiations" if they want oil and gas.
