Iran’s government has no plans to remove Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh from his post, a government spokesman said on June 16, according to the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA).
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh arrives for an
OPEC meeting in Vienna, Austria, June 22, 2018.
A
senior Iranian lawmaker said last month he was gathering signatures in
parliament to support a motion to oust Zanganeh for his inability to counter US
sanctions on Iran’s oil sales.
Hedayatollah Khademi said
last month he still needed to gather enough signatures to move the motion
forward. Similar attempts against Zanganeh have failed in recent years.
"There is no change in the
government’s work programme. Zanganeh has always been active and is one of the
key ministers of the government,” spokesman Ali Rabiei said. "Zanganeh’s name
has always been mentioned for impeachment but I hope Zanganeh continues his
role in the government. Zanganeh’s role at this time is important and parliamentarians
have to help.”
The United States reimposed
sanctions in November on exports of Iranian oil after US President Donald Trump
last year unilaterally pulled out of the 2015 accord between Iran and six world
powers to curb Tehran’s nuclear programme.
