DUBAI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Iran is determined to increase its oil exports despite sanctions imposed by the United States on Tehran's crude sales, Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji said on Wednesday, adding that the use of oil sanctions as a "political tool" would harm the market.
"There is strong will in Iran to increase oil exports despite the unjust and illegal U.S. sanctions," Owji told state TV, without elaborating on how Tehran planned to overcome sanctions.
"I promise that good things will happen regarding Iran's oil sales in the coming months."
Oil exports, Iran’s main revenue source, have plunged under U.S. sanctions, which were reimposed three years ago after Washington abandoned Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with six powers.
