US foreign policy helping oil price up- Iran

Doha, Apr 23: The foreign policy of the United States is partly responsible for driving oil prices to record highs, Iranian Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri said on Sunday.

Concern that Iran's nuclear confrontation with the West over its nuclear policy may result in a US strike on the Islamice republic has pushed oil prices over a barrel.

Vaziri has said the row will not affect Iran's oil exports.
