Petrochem exports unaffected despite sanctions against Iran

Iran's deputy oil minister says demand for the country’s petrochemical products is on the rise despite Western sanctions against the Iranian energy sector.

“Since the beginning of new [Iranian calendar] year and despite escalation of [Western] sanctions, the volume of Iran's petrochemical and polymer exports has not deceased, but has also increased,” Abdolhossein Bayat told Mehr News Agency on Saturday.
