Iran will continue to find international buyers for its oil and use the Strait of Hormuz to transport it, the country's foreign minister said, warning that if the United States tries to stop Tehran it should "be prepared for the consequences", Al Jazeera reports.
Speaking in New York City on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif cautioned US President Donald Trump's administration against taking the "crazy measure" of attempting to block Iranian oil sales.
Zarif also said it was in the Islamic Republic's "vital national security interest" to keep the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz open.
