Iran’s oil ministry on July 25 said it was able to sell a total of $18 billion worth of oil during the war and the ensuing ceasefire with the United States.
“The ministry sold $11.5 billion of oil during the war and $6.5 billion during the ceasefire” that collapsed earlier this month, the ministry said in a statement carried by its official website.
“This covers more than 60 percent of the oil revenues forecast in the year’s budget in the midst of the crisis,” it added.
