Iran wants OPEC to cut oil output

Iran called on OPEC to reduce world oil production by 1 million to 3 million barrels per day in response to the sharp drop in world demand.

The financial crisis and expected economic slowdown caused oil prices to drop from nearly $150 per barrel in July to about $72 on Friday. The steep decline has hit oil-producing countries hard and a cut in output is expected.
