The Ministry of Petroleum of the Islamic Republic announced that Iran’s oil sales in the first four months of 1405 (2026–27) have exceeded $11 billion. The ministry said that this level of sales has been recorded despite the war with the United States and Israel, continued sanctions, pressure on the shipping fleet, and market limitations in China.

Oil exports are considered one of the most important sources of foreign-currency revenue for the Islamic Republic. In recent years, officials of the Islamic Republic have repeatedly emphasized that, despite U.S. sanctions, Iran’s oil exports have continued and, in order to maintain or increase sales, alternative routes and markets have been used.
