June 11, Fineko/abc.az. The U.S. should be prepared for an oil price of $200 per barrel if they continue their actions against Iran.

ABC.AZ informs that the Iranian Ambassador to Japan, Peyman Seadat, said this in an interview for a TASS correspondent.

"If they continue like this, of course we will react, and it's their fault, it's their problem. But, [the price of oil can reach] 150-200 [dollars per barrel] if they continue in the same spirit. We will defend ourselves in any way we deem necessary, and then they should expect much higher oil prices. And it's their fault. We are not the ones [operating] next to the U.S. They operate in my region," he said.
