Iran’s 2025 oil revenue surpassed $45b, OPEC data shows
Iran earned more than $45 billion in oil revenue in 2025 despite intensified US sanctions and the return of Washington’s “maximum pressure” policy, according to the latest report by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Tasnim news agency, citing the OPEC report, said the combined oil revenue of the group’s 12 members fell to $619 billion in 2025 from $651 billion in 2024, marking the third consecutive annual decline in OPEC oil income.
According to the report, OPEC members’ oil revenues declined from $828 billion in 2022 to $678 billion in 2023, before falling further to $651 billion in 2024 and $619 billion in 2025.
Iran’s oil revenue showed only a limited decline despite tighter US sanctions, with the country earning about $45.335 billion from oil exports in 2025, compared with approximately $46.776 billion in 2024, a decrease of around $1.4 billion.
The report showed Iran’s oil income had followed a relatively upward trend in recent years, with 2025 revenue standing roughly $20 billion above the country’s oil earnings in 2021.
Iran accounted for more than 7% of total OPEC oil revenue in 2025, ranking as the organization’s sixth-highest oil earner.
Saudi Arabia recorded the highest oil revenue among OPEC members at $213 billion, followed by Iraq with $88 billion, the United Arab Emirates with $73 billion, Kuwait with $61 billion and Nigeria with $54 billion.
