Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh has called on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to resist calls from Washington to alter its output policies. The "high prices in the market and the instability in the market" were created by the actions of US President Donald Trump, it is his responsibility said Zanganeh on Tuesday. Iran's oil minister is currently in the Austrian capital Vienna ahead of a meeting with his counterparts set for Friday, in relation to which he noted that he does not expect an agreement to be reached on changing its output policy in the upcoming meeting. "I don't believe in this meeting we can reach agreement," he said. Zanganeh also stressed that OPEC is not an American organization and oil is not a political tool. On Monday, Iran said it will veto an anticipated proposal by Saudi Arabia and Russia to increase global production of oil when major producers meet in Vienna, stressing that it will have Iraq and Venezuela by its side to block the move. PressTV-Iran plans to veto output hike when OPEC meets Iran says it will veto an anticipated proposal by Saudi Arabia and Russia to increase global production of oil when major producers meet in Vienna on Wednesday. Hossein Kazempour Ardebili, Iran’s ambassador to OPEC, was quoted by media as saying that any increase in current production levels would be against a deal that OPEC and non-OPEC producers reached in 2016. Last week, Trump said that “oil prices are too high,” blaming the OPEC for the 60 percent rise of oil prices over the last year. “Oil prices are too high, OPEC is at it again. Not good!” the US president wrote on Twitter. Trump's criticism ironically comes at a time where US crude oil futures were trading near $66 a barrel on Wednesday falling about 9.5 percent from a multiyear high of nearly $73 a barrel on May 22. Oil prices fell this month on reports that the Trump administration asked Saudi Arabia, OPEC's biggest producer, to start pumping more as renewed US sanctions on Iran begin to hit the country's exports. In May, US President Donald Trump announced that he would pull America out of a 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran and re-impose the sanctions that the deal had envisaged to be lifted. He has already emphasized that the sanctions which would be imposed on Iran would be “at the highest level”. The sanctions would include a universal ban on Iran over buying or acquiring US dollars as well as restrictions over purchases of crude oil from the country and investing in its oil sector projects.
