Tehran, Oct 5, IRNA - Iran's Oil Minister Gholam-Hossein Nozari said on Sunday that economic sanctions imposed on Iran have created opportunities for the Islamic Republic.

making use of domestic facilities, thanks to the economic sanctions
imposed on the Islamic Republic," the minister reiterated.

meter a day.
On putting into operation of the sixth, seventh, and eighth phases of
