DEBKAfile reports: More than 10,000 US personnel, two aircraft carriers and 100 warplanes begin biggest simulated demonstration of force in Gulf since the 2003 invasion of Iraq

March 27, 2007, 3:50 PM (GMT+02:00)





DEBKAfile’s military sources note that the exercise was launched March 27 the day before the Arab League summit opens in Riyadh, to demonstrate the Bush administration’s determination not to let Iran block the Strait of Hormuz to oil exports from the Persian Gulf, or continue its nuclear program.

Taking part are the USS Stennis and USS Eisenhower strike forces.

With Iran’s Revolutionary Guards one week into their marine maneuvers, military tensions in the Gulf region are skyrocketing and boosting world oil prices.

Intelligence sources in Moscow claim to have information that a US strike against Iranian nuclear installations has been scheduled for April 6 at 0040 hours. The Russian sources say the US operation, code-named “Bite,” will last no more than 12 hours and consist of missile and aerial strikes devastating enough to set Tehran’s nuclear program several years back.

The maneuver also occurs four days after 14 British seamen and one crew-woman were seized by an Iranian Revolutionary Guards warship, with no sign that their release is imminent.

London insists its marines were on routine patrol on the Iraqi side of the Shatt al Arb on behalf of the Iraqi government. Tony Blair has threatened “a new phase” in the crisis if the captured personnel are not speedily released.

The warplanes are flying simulated attack maneuvers on enemy shipping with aircraft and ships, hunting enemy submarines and seeking mines, off the coast of Iran.

US Navy Cmdr Kevin Aandahl declined to say when the maneuver was planned or how long it would last. He said US warships would stay out of Iranian territorial waters up to 12 miles from the Iranian coast. Tehran does not recognize this limit and claims a deeper stretch of water.

Our military sources explain the presence of the French naval strike group led by the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle which joined the two US carriers last Friday: The group will carry out security missions in the Arabian Sea and its warplanes fly in support of NATO in Afghanistan.

Ik eigenlijk niet, de USA zit al diep in de shit met Irak, kan me niet voorstellen dat ze ook op korte termijn een tweede front openen.

Iran 'euro-based' oil bourse underway

Mar 11, 2007

An official said that the managing director of Iran's first petroleum exchange "Iran Oil Bourse" is expected to be appointed soon, bringing the oil-rich nation a step closer to opening its first 'oil bourse'. Majid Shayesteh, managing director of Kish Free Trade Zone Organization, said that President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has directed Iran's ministers of oil, economic affairs and finance to appoint the board of directors of the oil exchange and its managing director. He did not specify when exactly the exchange would open.

He also said the building which will house Iran's first oil exchange has been constructed on the Persian Gulf island of Kish and that the required technical equipment has been installed.

Shayesteh added that three major organizations are involved in the groundbreaking project, saying that coordinating efforts between the various groups initially delayed the project.

According to the official, the articles of association for the oil exchange have since been approved. Last month, a separate official announced that the petroleum exchange would begin operation "in the near future."

Mahmud Salahi, secretary of the High Council for Free Trade and Industrial Zones, had said that Iran decided to establish the euro-based oil exchange on Kish because "there was no such oil trading body in the region." The oil exchange will transact petroleum, petrochemicals and gas in various non-dollar currencies, primarily the euro. It would also establish a euro-based pricing mechanism for oil trading, or 'oil marker' as it is commonly called by traders.

Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh said earlier that a stock market for trade in shares of oil companies will be established in Iran's southern of Kish in the near future. While touring of a local gas transfer operation, the minister said the stock market will be set up in cooperation with the oil and finance ministries.

The stock market will be open to the public soon after the appointment of a managing director and members of a board of directors.

Last month, after a year of speculation, Iran changed its oil bourse from petrodollars to petroeuros.

Een olieprijs van mer dan 100 dollar per vat zal je dan vast ook niet uitmaken. Ik wil het wel eens echt zien weer autoloze zondagen net zoals in 73, toen ik het niet bewust heb meegemaakt. Lekker met de fiets op de snelweg.
