Iran is preparing to increase oil production, which is a sign of Iran's hopes that the United States will ease some of the sanctions during the presidency of Joe Biden, Bloomberg writes referring to the official website of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

According to the agency, the statement says that Tehran will take measures to prepare resources and equipment in the oil industry for the production and export of oil in accordance with current capacities over the next three months.

Rouhani noted that after the 2015 Iran deal with the United States and Europe, the country was able to increase oil sales abroad to 2 million barrels per day.
