Tehran, Iran – In a statement that sparked widespread controversy, Iran’s oil minister said that oil cooperation with the United States is “possible.” He explained that this could happen if the right conditions are met and the existing political and economic obstacles between the two countries are overcome.
The statement comes at a time when relations between Tehran and Washington remain complex. This is especially true given the US sanctions imposed on Iran’s energy sector, which have limited Tehran’s ability to freely export its oil to global markets.
Analysts believe that hinting at the possibility of cooperation may be a double-edged message. On the one hand, it reflects Iran’s desire to break its economic isolation and expand investment channels. On the other hand, it could be a test of Washington’s willingness to reopen economic channels of communication should a political breakthrough occur.
Energy experts emphasize that any direct cooperation between the two sides would bring about a significant shift in the global oil market. This would occur either through increased supply or a reshaping of partnerships and investments in the region.
Between the language of politics and the calculations of oil prices, the question remains: Do these statements pave the way for an economic bridge across the gap of disagreements, or are they merely a tactical message in the ongoing tug-of-war between the two sides?
