Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad stated on Saturday that he is "not worried" about rising tensions and threats from Israel amid escalating regional conflicts. His remarks, reported by the ministry's Shana news agency, came during a visit to Assaluyeh.
"I am not worried about the crises that the enemies of the revolution are creating, and this trip is considered a normal work trip," Paknejad was quoted by Shana as saying.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have increased, with concerns over potential Israeli strikes against Iranian interests in the region.
