Iran says Trump ‘main culprit’ of oil price hikes
TEHRAN, Sept 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump is the “main
culprit” to blame for a recent surge in oil prices, Iranian Oil Minister
Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said on Wednesday.
“The main culprit of the price hikes … and the destabilisation of the
market is Mr Trump and his disruptive and illegal policies,” Zanganeh said on
state television, after the US president hit out at OPEC accusing it of
“ripping off the rest of the world”.
