Al Jazeera: Iran OPEC chief: 'Saudi and Russia are taking oil market hostage'
Iran's OPEC chief Hossein Kazempour Ardebili says Saudi and Russian actions are a result of US attempts to cut Iran off.
Iran's OPEC governor, Hossein Kazempour Ardebili, has accused fellow OPEC country Saudi Arabia and non-OPEC country Russia of taking the global oil market hostage.
Their actions are a direct result of attempts by the United States to cut Iran's access to the global market off, he said.
"Russia and Saudi Arabia claim they seek to balance the global oil market, but they are trying to take over a part of Iran's share," Ardebili told Iran's oil news agency SHANA.

No spare oil capacity.... lol not like poor Canada will fill that void anytime soon. Sad situation we’re all in really. SAVE THE WHALES!
I am willing to pay a dollar more per gallon for a year, if the Ayatollahs are put out of power.
I'll pay more.
Drive less
But it'll work.
Anon,
Agreed. It would be a temporary situation anyway. I don't think your everyday Iranian is pleased with the bewiskered religious dinosaurs and Iran would again become a decent place again.
