Iran: Oil Market on the Right Track

Owji was quoted saying during an Iranian-Russian economic cooperation conference in Tehran, "Iran and Russia have the same opinions within OPEC."

In a surprising move in early April, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ countries announced additional production cuts of approximately 1.2 million barrels per day.
