The main reason for the country's oil revenues hike despite the outrageous US sanctions is the rise in oil prices in the world markets, compared to last year; while in recent weeks demand for black gold has been affected by factors such as US-China trade tensions, surplus of supply oil in global markets and worries about global economic growth decrease, which was followed by a drop in prices and dropped from the channel of $ 80 a barrel to around $ 50.
Of course, to curb the surplus of oil, the 14 OPEC member-states decided to cut their oil production by 800,000 barrels per day at the 150th meeting of the organization in Vienna in December. Non-OPEC states also agreed to reduce the 400,000 barrels that were implemented from January 1st.
