In an interview with Shana, Seyed Musa Mousavi stressed that Iran is developing its capacities in the oil industry, saying, “We will try to restore our share in the global oil markets whenever necessary."

“Iran's oil industry is currently on the path to development," he said. “It is influential in the global arena, the developments of Iran's oil industry after the victory of the Islamic Revolution are not comparable with before, and Iran has had a significant leap in this industry.”

He underlined the development of phases of the South Pars joint gas field, and added: "In the past few years, especially with the coming to power of the government of prudence and hope, different phases of the South Pars were put into operation, while sanctions were casting a shadow over the country."
