TEHRAN -A Middle Eastern economic weekly has reported in its latest issue that: "There seems to be a new crisis developing between the United Nations and Iraq".

According to an internet report from **Al-Zaman** newspaper, the two sides have differences on the price of oil that has not been sold under UN supervision.

The United Nations' Sanctions Committee intends to nullify the price of $25.30 per barrel, since it believes that Iraq has defied the sanctions, the report added.

It is clear that Iraq's oil production will greatly decrease if the decision is put into effect.
