00:05Welcome back. Iran's Petroleum Ministry rejected claims by the U.S. Treasury Department that it has crude oil stored on
00:11ships at sea.
00:12The response comes after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant suggested a temporary raising of sanctions to allow Iran to
00:20sell its accumulated surplus.
00:21In response, Iranian spokesman Saman Kadossi called Besant's statement, a psychological warfare tactic designed to manipulate international prices and create
00:32a false sense of abundance for buyers.
00:35Tehran maintains that its crude oil production is fully committed and the claims about unleashed floating reserves are unfunded.
