Iran's
oil ministry has denied the reports that the state-owned National Iranian Oil
Company (NIOC) is linked to or under the control of the IRGC, Mehr News Agency
reported on Tuesday.
On
Monday, U.S. Treasury sent a report to Congress determining that the NIOC was “an
agent or affiliate” of the IRGC. The Treasury, however, didn’t find sufficient
proof to link the National Iranian Tanker Co., NITC, the main carrier for
Iranian crude, to the Revolutionary Guards. (Bloomberg, 24 September)
“Treasury has reviewed classified reporting and unclassified information
in support of these determinations,” Adam Szubin, director of the Office of
Foreign Assets Control wrote to Congress. “As Iran’s most powerful economic
actor, the IRGC dominates many sectors of the economy, including energy,
construction, and banking,” he wrote.
“Recently, the IRGC has been coordinating a new campaign to sell Iranian
oil, in order to evade international sanctions,” Szubin wrote.
Under today’s finding, any foreign financial institution “determined to
knowingly facilitate significant transactions with or provide significant
financial services” for NIOC, without a Treasury waiver, can be blocked from the U.S. banking system.

When you have a member of the IRGC running the NIOC,what do you expect?
He recruited 3000 members of the Basij into NIOC.So yes one can say there is only the IRGC oil company,IRGCOC for short.
You guys have war criminals and rapists running Israel.
