Rouhani inaugurates new oil export terminal through Oman Sea

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani inaugurated the Goreh-Jask crude oil pipeline, a new national oil terminal in the Oman Sea, on Thursday, speaking in Tehran.

The $2 billion (€1.7 billion) project will allow Iranian tankers to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has been the centre of regional tension for years, and to have a new export terminal in the Oman Sea, and outside the Persian Gulf.

Rouhani stressed that the new oil terminal was an ‘important step’ to ‘secure the continuation of our oil exports,’ after experiencing several delays due to sanctions imposed by the former US Trump administration.

Rouhani also addressed Khuzestan’s water crisis protests, legitimising people’s right to demonstrate, calling for an urge to solve the water shortage and provide citizens with access to clean drinking water.
