Western media’s acknowledgment of Iran’s record oil exports in the past three years is another sign of the failure of maximum pressure on the Iranian people, Bahadori Jahromi wrote on his Twitter account.

Iran’s result-oriented foreign policy, without relying on Vienna and New York, has made the sanctions ineffective and neutralized, he added.

He emphatically pointed out that “the Iranian nation is victorious in this battle.”

Iran’s oil exports have risen to more than one million barrels a day for the first time in nearly three years, according to estimates from companies that track oil flows, reflecting higher shipments to China.
