RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Iran\u2019s Oil minister said there is no need for concern that the United States, after gaining control of Venezuelan oil, could strike deals with Iran\u2019s long-standing oil customers such as China.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how to do our job, and there is no need to worry about these issues,\u201d Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said, responding to such concerns.<\/p>\n

Paknejad also addressed speculation that US control over Venezuelan oil could push down global oil prices, raising fears that Iran\u2019s oil export prices might fall below budgeted levels. He said the oil market is dynamic and constantly changing.<\/p>\n

He noted that benchmark prices \u2014 the international indices used as pricing bases \u2014 are beyond Iran\u2019s control and are influenced by external variables.<\/p>\n

Paknejad added that Iran\u2019s ability to manage changes and coordinate with end buyers depends on negotiations that take into account operating costs, market supply conditions and seasonal demand.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that multiple indicators influence oil pricing and said Iran\u2019s professional teams carefully consider these factors to secure the best possible final sale price.<\/p>\n

According to ILNA, Paknejad reiterated that concerns about potential US deals with Iran\u2019s regular oil customers are unfounded, stressing that Iran is capable of managing its oil sales independently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
