At a time when oil markets are particularly sensitive to anything that might signal weak demand for oil now or in the future, US sanctions on Iran has effectively taken nearly 2.7 million barrels of oil per day out of what is perceived as an oversupplied market, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Tuesday in an interview with MSNBC.
美国国务卿Pompeo周二在接受MSNBC采访时说，在石油市场对任何可能表明当前或未来石油需求疲软的信号都特别敏感的时候，美国对伊朗的制裁实际上已经使这个被视为供过于求的市场每天减少了近270万桶石油。
Pompeo claims that the US Government was confident that it could continue with its maximum pressure campaign on Iran that has stifled the Middle Eastern country’s oil exports.
Pompeo声称，美国政府有信心继续对伊朗施加最大压力，遏制这个中东国家的石油出口。
“We have managed to take almost 2.7 million barrels of crude oil off of the market, denying Iran the wealth to create their terror campaign around the world, and we have managed to keep the oil markets fully supplied,” Pompeo said on Tuesday.
Pompeo周二表示:“我们成功地从市场上撤出了近270万桶原油，让伊朗失去了在全球发动恐怖活动的财力，我们也成功地保持了石油市场的充足供应。”

据路透社(Reuters)报道，Refinitiv Eikon的数据显示，伊朗7月份原油和凝析油出口下降至每日12万桶。然而，对中国出口的真实衡量仍然是个谜，因为没有官方账户追踪中国的出口。伊朗政府下属报纸Mashregh的主编哈桑•索莱马尼(Hassan Soleimani)表示，伊朗现在认为其石油出口是一个保密的问题。他表示，伊朗逃避制裁、“出售我们的石油以及我们如何转移资金，现在是该国最重要、最敏感的信息”。
While its exports may be shrouded in secrecy, its production figures are somewhat less so, thanks to its OPEC membership. Iran does not provide directly reported figures to OPEC, but according to OPEC’s secondary sources, Iran’s July oil production was 2.21 million bpd. Iran’s average daily production for all of was 3.55 million bpd.
尽管中国的出口可能处于保密状态，但由于其石油输出国组织(OPEC)的成员国身份，中国的石油产量数据在一定程度上没有那么高。伊朗没有直接向OPEC提供报告的数字，但根据OPEC的次要消息来源，伊朗7月份的石油日产量为221万桶。伊朗全年的平均日产量为355万桶/天。
OPEC is still curbing its production in an effort to rebalance the oversupplied oil market, and any additional export decreases from Iran will assist OPEC in its efforts to bolster prices.
石油输出国组织(OPEC)仍在控制产量，以重新平衡供过于求的石油市场，而伊朗的任何额外出口减少，都将有助于欧佩克提振油价。
