Press TV stated that the representative of the Iranian national oil company NIOC announced Tehran’s readiness to join the plan to freeze production volumes, as the country reached the desired level of production, RIA Novosti reported.

Director for international Affairs of NIOC, Mohsen Kamsari noted that according to calculations of the OPEC oil cartel, Iran produced 4.2 million barrels per day.

 He also added that the figures, which sought oil Minister (Bijan Zanganeh), were accomplished and they can join the plan for the freezing of oil production.

 At the same Kamsari said that the final decision rested with the Minister.

The meeting of representatives of the countries-oil producers took place in Doha on April 17. It was expected that the parties would sign an agreement to freeze, to prevent a further fall in prices for hydrocarbons. However, the deal did not materialize due to the fact that Saudi Arabia refused to sign any documents without Iran's participation. At the same time representatives of the Islamic Republic did not come to Doha.
