Reuters - Iran�s oil minister said on Monday it was difficult to forecast crude prices amid uncertainties over prospects for demand, Iranian state radio reported.

�No one can predict crude prices and now the demand is vague,� Bijan Zanganeh told state radio.

Zanganeh also said Turkey had �not welcomed� Iran�s offer to repair a natural gas pipeline inside Turkey that was damaged by a blast in March and halted Tehran�s natural gas flow to Turkey. (Writing by Parisa Hafezi; Editing by Mark Potter)
