Iran urges OPEC to make room for its oil exports: Reports

Iran has called on fellow OPEC members to cut back on exports they have increased during several years of Western sanctions on Tehran that have curbed its own supplies, news agency Shana reported on Thursday.

Shana said the remarks from Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh were in response to comments from Nigeria’s oil minister, who had said Nigeria is concerned by the prospects of a growing global oil glut as Iran prepares to ramp up exports once the West lifts sanctions next year.

Oil ministers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meet on Friday in Vienna.
