Iran will not be able to return to its previous oil export potential in just a few months, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated.
"What affects oil prices? With a global daily consumption of 96 million barrels, the production of Iran, including its export potential, cannot be recovered within a few months," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
"Sanctions are yet to be lifted from Iran, we expect that they will be lifted as quickly as possible, but experts should count what additional volumes will hit the market for the depressed downward trend to intensify," the deputy minister believes.
