Hossein Samsami, a member of the Economic Commission of the Parliament, made controversial statements criticizing the management of the country's oil resources. He revealed that more than 86 million barrels of oil have been allocated to Hossein Aghayari on credit and without a contract; a person recognized as one of the largest oil brokers and trusts in Iran.
Ambiguity in the Fate of Oil
Samsami further pointed out that out of this total amount of oil, only 30 million barrels have been transferred to final buyers, and the fate of more than 56 million barrels remains unclear. These statements indicate a deep crisis in the management of the country's oil resources.
Economy in a State of Economic War
He emphasized: "Our economy is in a state of full-scale economic war, but it has not taken a warlike posture in line with this war and has even opened gateways for the enemy in the vital and currency arteries of the country." Samsami's words not only highlight the economic situation of the country but also point to the negligence of officials regarding existing crises.
Accountability of Oil Ministry Officials
Samsami considered the result of this project to be the stagnation of several billion dollars of public funds and called for accountability from the supervisory officials of the Ministry of Oil, including the Minister of Oil and the CEO of the National Oil Company. This request serves as a warning to officials that they must urgently address the current situation.
Given these statements and criticisms, it seems that the need for transparency and accountability in the oil sector is felt more than ever. Will the relevant officials listen to the voices of the people's representatives this time?
