Oil market never buys Saudi brags: Zanganeh


MNA Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh has reacted to recent remarks by Saudi authorities regarding oversupplying the oil market, saying such brags would only satisfy US President Donald Trump, but the market would never buy them.







Mohammed Bin Salman, heir to the Saudi throne, said in an interview late Wednesday, we export as much as two barrels for any barrel that disappeared from Iran recently, so we did our job and more.

Reacting to the remarks, the veteran Iranian minister said, it seems that such remarks were made under US pressure on Saudi authorities; otherwise in reality, neither Saudis nor any other countries could replace Irans exports.

The market and rising prices are the best evidence of concern that the market is in short supply and is rightly nervous about the severe shortage of oil in the coming months, he added.

Zanganeh further said what the Saudis had been supplying the market with recently were not from Riyadhs spare capacity but was from tapping its oil stocks.

The Iranian official emphasized that statements made by any country about the supply of oil to offset shortages caused by Irans oil sanctionshad little or no impact on the market situation, but had mere short-term psychological effects and were ultimately aimed at satisfying the United States and assisting Trump in his imposition of the sanctions against Iran.
