Fars: Iran yet to decide who heads OPEC delegation

TEHRAN - Iran has yet to decide who will head its delegation at this week's meeting of OPEC oil producers, its OPEC governor was quoted as saying on Sunday by the Fars news agency.
OPEC meets on Wednesday and may consider raising output to dampen prices but ahead of the meeting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sacked his oil minister, leaving a question mark over who would represent the group's second-largest producer nation.
Iran's envoy to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Mohammad Ali Khatibi, told the semi-official Fars agency the decision had yet to be finalized.
"Because I was traveling abroad I do not have any information about the announcement of the new caretaker of the Oil Ministry," Khatibi told Fars.
