TEHRAN (FNA)- Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude exporter, has filed a request to supply gasoline from Iran after a sudden cut of domestic supplies due to the recent Yemeni drone attacks on its major oil facilities, a senior member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said Tuesday.
"Saudi Arabia is facing problem because production of gasoline and oil products has sorely decreased in the country and therefore, it has extended its hand and informed Iran of its need to import gasoline from Iran," Abolfazl Hassanbeigi told Mehr News Agency's Persian website on Tuesday.
"Iran produces nearly 20mln liters of excess gasoline supplies which could be sold to Saudi Arabia," he added.
Elaborating on the cause of the Saudi demand, the lawmaker noted the aggravating conditions at the Saudi oil complex that came under attack on Saturday, and implied that reconstruction and resumption of operation by the complex doesn't seem to be likely, at least in the short-run.
Hassanbeigi further pointed out that a part of Saudi Arabia's oil refinery has melted down after the Yemenis' drone attacks and cannot be reconstructed, adding that the workers of the Saudi oil firm, Aramco, have lost their morale and foreign advisors are leaving the Saudi oil companies for the fear of the Yemenis' second strike.
