SHANA -- Deputy Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Energy Committee, emphasizing that the replacement of Iran's oil by other countries in the market is a political bluff, said, technically, Saudi Arabia could not replace Iran's oil.

Hussein Amiri Khamkani told Shana that Iran's oil exports would never stop, adding, �Iran's oil exports would never go down to zero, but reduced oil supplies by Iran in the market would affect the market.�

The MP further underscored the necessity of creating [economic] stability and turning sanctions into opportunities in the country, adding, "With the official start of the embargoes, not only will there not be a problem, but would only indicated the failure of the United States to bring to zero Iran�s oil exports, and success of Iran and the Islamic community.�

He said US issuing sanctions waivers for 8 of Iran�s oil buyers was indicative of the fact that Washington had failed to reach its goals in this regard.

�Over the past 40 years, we have seen a variety of sanctions and have become more or less accustomed to the troubles they have created for us.�
