US Leading Oil Price Fall Show

TEHRAN Nov 17 (Shana)--A senior Iranian lawmaker has laid the blame on the United States for the falling oil prices.

“The stage director of this show is the US whose objective is to damage the Iranian and Russian economies and Saudi Arabia is helping them (the Americans),” Mansour Haqiqatpour, vice-chair of Majlis Foreign Policy and National Security Committee, said.

“This game cannot go on. I hope that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would adopt a constructive decision to that effect so that oil could reach its realistic price in world market,” he said.

Haqiqatpour said Iranian Petroleum Minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh’s visits to oil-rich countries for consultation are within the framework of energy diplomacy.

“Iran is a regional oil power and therefore is influential. Definitely, we will witness developments in this regard in the coming days,” he said.
