According to first vice president’s website, Jahangiri said on Thursday that the Islamic Revolution was standing firm because of the blood of the martyrs and the resistance of the Iranian nation which would continue on its path to independence and freedom.

"Today, we see the United States using all its satellite, air and maritime capabilities to track down an Iranian oil tanker to see where it wants to sell its oil,” he said.

"The Americans thought that if the Iranians claimed that the tanker belonged to the Revolutionary Guards, the Iranian people might support them [the Americans], but they were mistaken and lying," the first vice president said. “Oil belongs to the Iranian nation and its revenues would be returned to the nation by spending it on developing the country.”
