Iran oil exports rise dramatically
Iran's crude oil exports have hit 1.2 million barrels per day, almost doubling from eight months ago when the country elected a new president, a top government official says.
Mansour Moazami, who holds the planning brief among the Islamic republic's five deputy oil ministers, said on Friday the numbers were 20 per cent above forecasts and they would rise further.
'When the government took office, exports were around 700,000 barrels per day,' Moazimi was cited as saying by Mehr, a semi-official government news agency.
He said the updated figure of 1.2 million was supplemented by 200,000 barrels per day of derivative gas products from crude.
'Our oil exports are now 20 per cent higher than in the budget numbers and we believe that in the current Iranian year they will increase further,' Moazimi added.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a reputed moderate who succeeded Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was elected in June, taking office in August.
The rising oil exports come as Iran and world powers prepare for a fifth round of talks next month aimed at a long-term deal on curbing the Islamic republic's disputed nuclear program.
Despite the higher numbers, Iran's oil exports remain heavily down on shipment levels before sanctions - the country was shipping 2.5 million barrels per day of crude abroad in late 2011.
China, India, South Korea and Japan are Iran's biggest oil export markets.
Under a preliminary deal signed last November, Iran agreed to freeze some nuclear activities for six months, which led to modest sanctions relief and a promise from world powers of no new restrictions on its hard-hit economy.

"I received a note from media court which said a ban has been imposed on the daily for spreading lies," Mohammad Ali Vakili, managing director of the daily, told ISNA.
ISNA said the ban was imposed because of a headline in Thursday's edition for a story about the replacement of the country's prisons chief over reports of violence against political prisoners.
"The headline of one of the Ebtekar columns read prisons chief was dismissed, while he has been appointed to another post and not dismissed," ISNA said.
According to opposition websites, several inmates in the notorious Section 350 of Evin prison were beaten after scuffles broke out at a cell block, with some of them seriously wounded and taken to hospital.
After the incident prisons chief Gholam Hossein Ismaili, was replaced by Asghar Jahangir and appointed to a senior post as head of the justice department in the capital.
A judiciary spokesman said Ismaili's reassignment "had nothing to with what happened in Section 350."
Iran's judiciary system is controlled by conservatives who frequently clash with the government over policies they deem to be too liberal.
