️🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's former oil minister, Mohsen Pekanjad, denied that his resignation was related to US President Trump's claims last night, and said that oil production and exports continued despite the sanctions and blockade.

"My resignation has nothing to do with Trump's claims. Iran's oil production and exports continue even under sanctions and blockade," Pekanjad said.

He added that "they have suffered a heavy blow, so it is natural that they would resort to such false claims."
