"Iran's oil revenue from the beginning of this year and in the first four months of the year reached $29.5," Seifollah Jashnsaz, managing director of the Iranian National Oil Company (INOC), was quoted on Friday as saying.

Iran, the world's fourth biggest oil producer, has made windfall gains from record crude oil prices, which soared above $145 a barrel on the international market in July.

Iranian crude typically sells for several dollars below some benchmark crudes.

Iranian officials have previously said the country earned $70 billion from oil exports in the year that ended in March 2007.
