Iran will not allow any country replace its oil sales in the global market, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will not allow any country to replace Iran in the oil market. The United States and those countries will be responsible for any consequences," Fars news agency cited the minister saying.
Mousavi stressed that he condemns Saudi Arabia and Bahrain for welcoming U.S. sanctions on Tehran.
Washington has decided not to renew its exemptions from U.S. sanctions against Iran that it granted last year to buyers of Iranian oil.
