Iran oil minister hopes OPEC will not follow US orders - SHANA
- Country:
- Egypt Arab Rep.
- Iran Islamic Rep.
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh said on Sunday he hoped decisions taken by the OPEC and the non-OPEC ministerial committee would not be affected by U.S. President Donald Trump's tweets on oil producers.
"I hope (Trump's) threats will not scare my OPEC colleagues and encourage them to carry out America's orders," Zanganeh was quoted by the oil ministry's SHANA news website as saying.
Zanganeh was referring to a tweet by Trump in which he linked U.S. support for Middle Eastern countries to oil prices on Thursday and again urged OPEC to lower prices.
