Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq: The race for oil dominance

| June 21, 2011

Dubai Initiative Fellow Justin Dargin speaks to Ameinfo.com, the Middle East business and finance news resource, about the apparent split among OPEC members Saudi Arabia and Iran over the output of oil following the disruptions from the recent Arab uprisings. While Saudi Arabia wants an increase in oil production, Iran's interest lies in maintaining the high oil prices.

In the Arabic-language article, Dargin discusses the impending game-changer in oil politics, Iraq. He further elaborates on the strength of Saudi Arabia's oil reserves in maintaining a dominant role in the oil trade.
