The reaction of the US Treasury Secretary to the resignation of Iran's oil minister

In response to the resignation of Iran's oil minister, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant posted on the X social network: "Iran has a new oil minister." Considering that Iran has not loaded and moved a single barrel of crude oil since August 25th, what exactly is the Minister of Petroleum managing?"

Iran's oil minister, Mohsen Pekanjad, resigned two days ago and his replacement was not proposed to the parliament, but Massoud Pazhkian appointed Hamid Burd as the head of the ministry.

Massoud Pazhkian today appointed Mr. Pakanjad as his advisor.
