In recent days, official statistics show that Iran's oil exports have reached their highest level in seven years in 2025. This news comes as energy experts express doubts about the accuracy of these figures, pointing to the lack of return of foreign currency from oil exports.
Why Doesn't the Revenue from Oil Return to the Country?
It seems that despite claims of increased exports, the return of the revenue from them faces serious challenges. Experts believe that complex intermediary and trust networks hinder the proper and secure transfer of oil revenue, thus introducing significant costs and risks into this process.
These issues raise further questions regarding the transparency and management of financial resources resulting from oil exports. Do these revenues really return to the country's economy, or do they get lost along the way?
