Mohsen Khojastehmehr stated on Wednesday: “Oil has been the source of looting and plunder everywhere in history, but in Iran, despite many ups and downs, it has evolved after the victory of the Islamic revolution.”

"Before the victory of the revolution, the share of oil in technology was zero," he said. “Although at that time we had the production and export of oil, but at the same time our share of oil was cost and pollution, and it was the policy of the colonialists to leave the production of raw materials and pollution to countries called the Third World and add value to their share.”
