"Your tweets have increased the prices by at least $10. Please stop this
method,” Kazempour said.
According to the official, if Trump doesn’t stop this trend the prices will
go even higher.
In an Interview with Reuters, Kazempour warned the expectations that Saudi
Arabia and Russia would help bring down prices were in vain, saying that oil
will soon cost $100 per barrel due to supply disruptions caused by the U.S.
president.
He said Trump was trying to intensify tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Trump again accused the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries of
driving fuel prices higher on Wednesday, and urged U.S. allies such as Saudi
Arabia to pump more if they wanted Washington to continue protecting them
against Iran.
