Responding to a question on the amount of petrol import, Bijan Zanganeh said that, “I don’t have exact statistics in this regard; about 8.7 million liters of petrol are imported every day, though our demand is higher.”

He also referred to the conditions of oil market in the post-sanction era asserting that, “we are preparing for the post-sanction era in terms of oil by holding talks with costumers and manufacturing sectors are getting ready for the new conditions.” The oil minister emphasized that the vital principle for Iran was to regain its lost share in the global market.
