Iran says Trump ‘main culprit’ of oil price hikes

US President Donald Trump is the “main culprit” to blame for a recent surge in oil prices, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh says.

“The main culprit of the price hikes … and the destabilization of the market is Mr Trump and his disruptive and illegal policies,” Zanganeh says on state television, after the US president hit out at OPEC accusing it of “ripping off the rest of the world.”
