Iran will manage even if oil drops $25 p/b: minister
2015-01-21
Iran will run its affairs even if oil prices fall to $25, minister of economy has said, IRNA reported.
They won't run their affairs very well but they'll run them...
“Even if oil drops to $25 we will again run the budget properly,” Ali Tayebnia said in a Shana report Tuesday.

The minister said the government will see its revenues fall by IRR 25,000 billion if oil price falls to $40.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said last December that the drop in oil prices is a plot by certain governments ... an opportunity to reduce the dependence of the country's budget on oil revenues.

The plot, of course, that's part of the mentality. But the dependence on oil revenue is delicious irony.
