Management problems in the country's oil sector continue, and Hossein Samadsami, a member of the Economic Commission of the Parliament, recently made controversial remarks about the transfer of 86 million barrels of oil to Hossein Aghayari, one of Iran's largest oil brokers. This issue is particularly concerning given the current economic conditions of the country, which is in an all-out economic war.
The Oil That Did Not Reach Buyers
Samadsami criticized the management of oil resources, stating that out of the 86 million barrels of oil transferred to Hossein Aghayari, only 30 million barrels have been delivered to final buyers. This means that more than 56 million barrels of oil remain shrouded in uncertainty, and their fate is unclear. Was this amount of oil transferred to meet the country's needs or illegally handed over to brokers?
He clearly stated that under the current conditions, the country's economy is at war, yet no war-like arrangements have been made for managing the country's vital and currency resources. On the contrary, doors have been opened to the enemies of the country, which could cause serious damage to the national economy.
Accountability in the Shadow of Silence
Samadsami also criticized the supervisory officials of the Ministry of Oil, including the Minister of Oil and the CEO of the National Oil Company, demanding their accountability regarding this critical situation. He believes that this project has not only led to the waste of several billion dollars of public funds but could also have more negative repercussions for the country's economic future.
Ultimately, the question arises whether Hossein Aghayari and other individuals involved in these transfers are truly acting in the interests of the country or are merely seeking personal and brokerage gains. In these challenging circumstances, transparency and accountability are felt more than ever.
