MOSCOW - Iran’s oil minister sought to defuse tensions with Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, calling his counterpart in Riyadh “a friend” and saying Tehran was committed to stability in the region.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have repeatedly clashed at OPEC meetings over output policies, and tensions between the two countries flared after Saudi Arabia blamed Iran for an attack on Saudi oil facilities on Sept. 14., a charge Tehran denies. Commenting on the attack, which sent oil prices soaring 20 percent on that first day of trading, Zanganeh said the issue should not be addressed by raising political pressure on Tehran.
Russia condemned the attacks but didn’t know who was behind it, Putin told another panel in front of the Saudi and Iranian ministers and chief executives of oil majors BP and Exxon Mobil.
