US Secretary of State said Tuesday on the sidelines of CERA Energy Week conference in Houston that Washington is "committed to bringing Iranian crude oil exports to zero as quickly as market conditions will permit", ONA reports citing Sputnik.

"We have every intent of driving Iranian oil exports to zero just as quickly as we can", Pompeo said on Tuesday evening.

Moreover, Pompeo urged the whole oil industry on Tuesday to work with Washington in order to promote US foreign policy, especially in Asia and in Europe, and to punish what he dubbed "bad actors" on the world stage.

"We need to roll up our sleeves and compete – by facilitating investment, encouraging partners to buy from us, and by punishing bad actors", Pompeo said.
