Referring to the new US sanctions, the head of the Parliament's Energy Committee said: "Iran knows ways to circumvent the sanctions, and Washington's oil policies to disrupt oil sales have failed."

Stating that aggression against energy-producing countries is a violation of international law and a threat to global stability, the Minister of Oil said: "The energy industry, and especially oil, in today's interconnected world, needs peace and stability to play its role in promoting national, regional, and global prosperity."

The CEO of the National Iranian Drilling Company announced the achievement of drilling and completing 100 wells in 1403 and said: "Localizing strategic equipment, manufacturing domestic rigs, and increasing the share of domestic manufacturing are among the company's strategic priorities, which have been accompanied by foreign exchange savings and reducing dependence."

While Donald Trump has claimed to have paved the way for Iranian oil exports to China, statistics show that China's oil imports from Iran reached a record 1.8 million barrels per day in June; a record that experts attribute to increased seasonal demand, regional war, and the attractiveness of Iranian oil prices, not necessarily the result of the official lifting of sanctions.

During the 12 days when Iran's skies were facing the Zionist regime's invasion and the imposed war, the oil industry worked in a chain reaction and did not tremble, but stood firm. It stood firm and did not let a single light go out or a shortage arise in the country's fuel supply.

China increased its crude oil imports from Iran in June, and independent Chinese refiners bought more Iranian oil.

Despite the conflict between Iran and Israel, contrary to the claims of the Zionist regime's media, Iran's oil exports not only did not decrease, but also remained at a level of about 2.2 million barrels per day, according to Kpler data.

The Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global energy exports, remains an irreplaceable bottleneck. Any disruption to the flow of oil through this route would alter the geopolitical equations of energy; despite efforts by countries to design alternative routes, none are able to cover the crisis.

Tracking agency Kpler reported that Iran's oil exports reached 2.2 million barrels per day.

According to data received from tanker trackers, China imported an average of 1.38 million barrels of oil per day from Iran in the first half of 2025, equivalent to more than 13.6 percent of the country's total oil imports.
