Iran oil industry

Oji noted that if Iran manages to cut fuel consumption by half in different sectors, it will be able to earn $150 billion annually.

He noted that the Iranian government pays $80 billion each year in fuel subsidies.

Oji underlined that last year, Tehran’s industries and power plants did not consume a single liter of fuel oil (mazut).

He was speaking on Tuesday and at a ceremony in which the Oil Ministry and Tehran’s Municipality signed a memorandum of understanding.

The oil minister voiced hope that following the signing of the MoU and the use of the capabilities of knowledge-based companies, energy consumption will be reduced and the saved energy will generate more revenues for Iran through exports and injection of the revenues into the country’s value chain.

Iran has made long strides in pressing ahead with its crude sales despite the US sanctions that have targeted its oil industry.

The administration of President Ebrahim Raisi says the Iranian oil sales are steadily increasing despite those bans and the revenues are returning to the country.

Afghanistan Blast

Many residents in the neighbourhood belong to the Shia Hazara community, an ethnic and religious minority frequently targeted by Sunni militant groups, including Islamic State.

“Three blasts have taken place … in a high school, there are some casualties to our Shia people,” said Khalid Zadran, the spokesman for Kabul’s commander.

He later added that six had been killed and 11 injured in the explosions.

The head of a hospital nursing department, who declined to be named, stated at least four people had been killed and 14 wounded in the blasts.

Another medical centre, Emergency Hospital, said in a Tweet they had received seven children injured in the explosions.

Local media outlet Etilaatroz reported that 25 people were killed.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which followed a lull in violence over the cold winter months and after foreign forces withdrew last year.

The Taliban say they have secured the country since taking power in August, but international officials and analysts say that the risk of a resurgence in militancy remains and the Islamic State militant group has claimed several major attacks.
