Shokouhi said a return of Iranian oil to global markets could happen within months and could certainly have a noticeable effect on global supply and prices, as the country has both reserves at the ready and infrastructure in place to pump out more. A statement signed by 160 of Iran’s 290 members of parliament was read out publicly on Sunday. It said Tehran should not bind itself by “fabricated deadlines” by the West and push for its demands in the talks in the Austrian capital.

The pause in diplomatic talks between the countries that have long competed for influence across the Middle East comes at a tense time for the region. The Baghdad-mediated talks between the regional foes began quietly in Iraq’s capital last year as Saudi Arabia sought a way to end its disastrous war against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, a conflict that has spawned the world’s worst humanitarian disaster and brought rebel drones and missiles raining down on Saudi airports and oil facilities. Iran, the largest Shiite Muslim country in the world, and Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties in 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr. Angry Iranians protesting the execution stormed two Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran, fueling years of animosity between the countries.

Iran claims responsibility for missile strike near US consulate in Iraq (unknown)
Revolutionary Guards say target in Erbil was Israeli 'strategic centre' following attack in Syria.
The US defence official said it was still uncertain exactly how many missiles were fired and exactly where they had landed. One Iraqi official in Baghdad initially said several missiles had hit the US consulate in Erbil and that it was the target of the attack. In retaliation, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at al-Asad airbase, where US troops were stationed. Later, Lawk Ghafari, the head of Kurdistan’s foreign media office, said none of the missiles had struck the US facility but that areas around the compound had been hit. The troops will still provide air support and other military aid for Iraq’s fight against Islamic State. US forces stationed at Erbil’s airport compound have come under fire from rocket and drone attacks in the past, with US officials blaming Iran-backed groups.
