Analyst: Censuring Oil Ministry Will Not Help

So long as Tehran is grappling with the unending and hostile US economic sanctions, criticizing the government, especially the Oil Ministry and its subsidiaries, is not called for because it will harm not help, says a prominent Iranian energy analyst from London University.
“Coping with oil market volatility and exporting crude under the sanctions regime demands focus” and unity of purpose.  Attacking the government under the current circumstances will not achieve anything,” Narsi Ghorban was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.
Ghorban said differences of opinion between government officials, parliament members and experts are not unusual and exist in all countries. Magnifying and exaggerating problems would only make a bad situation worse, he warned.
