‘Reducing Iran's oil exports to zero; A wish that never came true’

This follows Mohsen Paknejad, the oil minister, having previously responded decisively to Donald Trump's maximum pressure order aimed at reducing Iran's oil exports to zero, declaring that America's maximum pressure policy on Iran's oil exports has failed and that reducing Iran's oil exports to zero is a wish they will never achieve.
