The 17th meeting of the Oil and Energy Ministers of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC producers, a grouping called OPEC+ was held on Tuesday via videoconferencing.

The Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh said after the meeting that the event was under the influence of the possible return of Iran's crude to the market.
