RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Iran\u2019s oil exports are continuing without interruption, the head of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) said on Monday, dismissing reports of losses from changes in sales methods.<\/p>\n

Hamid Bovard, NIOC\u2019s managing director, told IRNA that Iran is pursuing both diversification and expansion of oil sales in different markets, echoing comments by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

He rejected claims that such policies had harmed revenues.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a relentless effort and close struggle, Iran\u2019s oil industry representatives are carrying out sales of crude and petroleum products appropriately,\u201d Bovard said.<\/p>\n

He added that the company does not intend to respond to every rumor, but is focused on keeping the \u201ccountry\u2019s economic lights on\u201d through persistent efforts.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad told reporters that Iran\u2019s oil sales had never stopped, continuing strongly despite fluctuations. He said there were no unsold crude shipments stranded at sea.<\/p>\n

Recent data supports the officials\u2019 remarks. Iran\u2019s crude output rose to about 3.27 million barrels per day in early September, the highest in seven-and-a-half years, following upgrades in infrastructure and recovery techniques.<\/p>\n

Recent OPEC data showed Iran recorded the largest oil revenue gain among member states in 2024, climbing from $41.1 billion in 2023 to more than $46.7 billion.<\/p>\n

China remains a crucial buyer, Beijing\u2019s imports of Iranian crude reached record levels in June 2025, with estimates ranging between 1.46 million and 1.8 million barrels per day, underscoring Tehran\u2019s ability to maintain robust flows to Asian markets despite sanctions.<\/p>\n

Such figures reinforce NIOC\u2019s position that oil exports remain active and profitable, and that diversification of sales channels has bolstered both output and revenues.<\/p>\n
