Venezuela has been calling for an emergency meeting to discuss steps to prop up prices, which are at their lowest since 2003. But Iran and Gulf members of the OPEC have been rebuffing Venezuela’s push for a special meeting.

“The important thing is that there must be an intention for change, but we have not yet received such a signal,” he said.
