Iran has never been a threat to energy security, nor will it ever pose a risk to it, as insecurity in the region is against its national interests.
Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh made the statement on Sunday in an interview with the state TV, IRNA reported.
Zanganeh made the remark in response to allegations by Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih who called on the international community to stand up to Iran's threats to global energy security.
Insecurity in the Middle East, "politicizing oil and using it as a weapon will harm all oil producing countries I am not excluding Iran", and that would be a lose-lose game, Zanganeh said.
