SHANA (Tehran) – The story of Iran’s oil industry on the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution cannot be told through dry administrative statistics. It must be sought in the warm breath of the men and women who, during the harsh years of war and suffocating sanctions, kept the flame of oil production and exports alive through sacrifice and perseverance. Without reliance on foreign presence, they safeguarded the country’s economic lifeline by ensuring the uninterrupted flow of oil.
