Iran says its missing barrels cannot be compensated
Tehran (KNA) - Iran says no country can ever compensate for its missing oil supplies to markets in case the US materializes its threat to bring the Islamic Republic’s oil exports to zero with a top official saying that US President Donald Trump would sooner or later have a change of heart over his campaign to the same effect.
Hossein Kazempour Ardebili, Iran's ambassador to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), said none of the current major producers including Saudi Arabia and Russia had the technical capability to fill the gap that would be created as a result of a potential halt in Iran's oil exports.
This, Kazempour Ardebili emphasized, would make US threats against Iran's oil exports - that he said stood at around 2.3 million barrels per day (m/bpd) - already impossible.
