Iran and Venezuela urge OPEC members to defend oil prices

Up till a few days ago, the traditional OPEC hawks seemed to exclude resorting to production cuts to counter the 30 percent drop in oil prices on the global market in the last six months. However, with the budget plans of numerous OPEC states now at risk, pressure on the organisation to take action has increased, chiefly from members such as Ecuador, Libya, and especially Venezuela, which is facing a deep economic crisis.
