Main PageState Department: US does not intend to replace Russian oil with Iranian
The US authorities will not seek to replace Russian oil supplies with Iranian oil exports, regardless of the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Tehran's nuclear program. This was stated on March 15 by the head of the press service of the State Department, Ned Price , at a briefing for journalists.
Whether there is a JCPOA or not, our position regarding the ban on Iranian oil will not change. We will not replace Russian oil with Iranian oil. This will not be considered, ”said the representative of the American foreign policy department.
“For Iran to be permanently deprived of the opportunity to acquire nuclear weapons is equally in our interests and the interests of Russia,” Price believes.
US President Joe Biden , by his decree, previously banned the import of energy resources from Russia as sanctions in connection with the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
