Iranian oil exports are proceeding without interruption despite the United States cancelling a 60-day sanctions waiver last week, according to Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad.
The minister posted the update on his official Telegram channel on Tuesday, asserting that domestic mechanisms are effectively countering the renewed pressure from Washington.
The statement directly contradicts the intended impact of the US Treasury's decision to let the waiver lapse.
By maintaining that shipments continue as usual, Tehran is signaling to buyers and shipping markets that the threat of supply disruption remains manageable, at least in the short term.
This assertion is critical for traders assessing the immediate risk premium embedded in global crude prices.
The US had previously granted a temporary suspension of sanctions on Iranian oil production and sales, allowing exports to continue until August 21.
