ايران وفنزويلا تدعوان الى التعاون داخل اوبك لدعم اسعار النفط

Read this story in English W460

دعا الرئيس الايراني حسن روحاني ونظيره الفنزويلي نيكولاس مادورو الذي يزور طهران الى التعاون داخل منظمة الدول المصدرة للنفط "اوبك" من اجل دعم اسعار النفط، حسبما اورد موقع الحكومة الايرانية السبت.

وصرح روحاني خلال استقباله لمادورو "لا شك في ان تعاون دول اوبك التي لها نفس الخط، يمكن ان يتيح افشال خطط بعض القوى المعادية لها ويساهم في استقرار الاسعار عند مستوى مقبول في 2015".

وطالب مادورو من جهته ب"تعاون الدول المصدرة من اجل اعادة استقرار اسعار النفط وهو منتج استراتيجي".

ووصل مادورو الى طهران ليل الجمعة السبت في زيارة تستمر 24 ساعة هي الاولى له الى هذا البلد منذ توليه الحكم في 2013.

ويرافقه في الزيارة التي تستمر 24 ساعة وزراء النفط والخارجية والمالية والصناعة ومحافظ البنك البنك المركزي.

وايران وفنزويلا عضوان في اوبك وتعانيان من تدني اسعار النفط الذي تراجع الى ما دون 50 دولارا للبرميل.

وتنتقد الدولتان سياسة السعودية التي ترفض خفض انتاج المنظمة لوقف تدهور الاسعار.

وانتقد روحاني وغيره من المسؤولين الايرانيين الرياض مرات عدة لرفضها التعاون لرفع اسعار النفط.

والتقى المرشد الاعلى للجمهورية الاسلامية اية الله علي خامنئي كذلك بمادورو ودان ما وصفه ب"الانخفاض الغريب لاسعار النفط في مثل هذه الفترة القصيرة".

وقال خامنئي ان "هذا لا يمكن الا ان يكون عمل سياسي .. اعداؤنا يستخدمون النفط كاداة سياسية وبالتاكيد فان لهما دورا في خفض الاسعار"، من دون تحديد الجهة التي كان يشير اليها.

وعززت ايران وفنزويلا علاقاتهما السياسية والاقتصادية منذ العقد الاول للالفية الحالية. فقد طور الرئيسان السابقان محمود احمدي نجاد وهوغو تشافيز هذه العلاقات من خلال التشديد على سياستهما المشتركة المعادية للولايات المتحدة.

وشدد روحاني على ان ايران "ستواصل تعاونها مع فنزويلا في مجالات السكن والنقل والصناعة والتغذية والادوية لتلبية حاجات هذا البلد".

ودعا مادورو من جهته، الى "استمرار وجود الشركات الايرانية" في فنزويلا والتي يمكن ان تشكل "قاعدة جيدة للصادرات الايرانية باتجاه اميركا اللاتينية".

If American presidents (starting with Mr. Nixon), used their "powers of persuasion" on OPEC decades ago, we would've had "supply/demand" prices ever since.

We sent a loan of 3 billion to them when Obama shut down drilling in the Gulf. That caused our drilling rigs to move to Venezuela. We lost jobs, money, oil and supported a vengeful dictatorship doing all of this. Nice job people.

What is the "reasonable" price of oil? Certainly debatable, but also certainly not based on what Iran and Venezuela need to support their corrupt governments.

what is a "reasonable" price for oil? Depends on who you ask, but it's certainly not based on what the budgets of Iran and Venezuela require to support their corrupt governments.

So when oil was well over $100 per barrel for 2 years what did Venezuela do with that money? Obviously they squandered it. The biblical answer is to store the excess in times of plenty and use that storage in times of famine or need. If Joseph did it in Egypt then Maduro could have done it in modern day Venezuela. Ha..."leaders".

America buys most of Venezuela's crude, since it's so thick our refineries are some of the only that can consistently refine it. In hindsight, was it smart for Chavez (and Maduro for that matter) to alienate the US gov't so badly? Chavez really could have embraced Obama. Now all these countries, Russia too, that are so heavily reliant on us to keep the demand as strong as the supply, are experiencing inflation, budget shortfalls, lack of goods, etc. But the leaders have bucked the US time after time, well now they'll pay the price for not innovating new exports for their countries. So...where's Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey now? And Fidel? Some think he's dead. While so many thought America was finished, they're realizing we're just getting started! And if you think this is bad, wait till a Republican is in the White House after the next election.

Perhaps, Iran can sell their head scarfs to the Venezuelans so that the Venezuelans can use them as toilet paper. Not sure how Venezuelans will pay for it since they do not even have sufficient hard currency to purchase toilet paper or laundry soap on the open market.

Yet gas prices in America should remain low because we should keep all the oil we produce. Any American company that sell oil outside America and causes the price to go up should be shot as Un-American.

Maduro should simply pass a law making oil more expensive, then put his military in control of oil and *Poof!* problem solved! That method is working well in his own country where every grocery store is brimming with choices....

All kidding aside, Maduro needs to die a painful death so his people can recover from the socialist dictatorship that is killing them.

"Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves but its economy -- 96 percent of the government's foreign currency comes from crude -- has been gutted by inflation and basic goods shortages."
This is typical for socialist/communist dictatorships because there is no need to produce profits or control losses when the government owns the means of production - they simply increase taxes to make up for any losses. This typically leads to higher prices and product shortages. If Venezuela and Iran's oil monopolies can't compete with free market capitalism, maybe they should consider replacing their socialist government dictatorships with ones that increase production of goods and increases individual prosperity and liberty.

Low prices are to continue due to the rise of USA petroleum. Iran, Russia and Venezuela can eat oil for breakfast lynch and dinner for all I care. I expect the Suadis to be the recipients of war if the don't raise prices. What better way to increase the cist of oil than to attack Arabia.

Venezuela and Iran are paying the price for constantly calling on Saudi Arabia to decrease their production and market share in order to keep prices high while both these countries over produce and will and never have to accept a loss. It was only a matter of time until the Saudis got tired of taking loss after loss while other members of OPEC come out on the plus side of the ledger every year. Venezuela and Iran are also suffering because they've wasted their oil revenues on military build ups and maintaining political power instead of investing in diversifying their economies, so doom on them.

There is nothing they can do to bring the price of oil back up to one hundred dollars a barrel. The world is awash in oil and the demand for that oil has fallen as most of the world's economies are stagnant or showing very little growth. Nothing will stop the fracking used in the United States to produce hundreds of millions of barrels of oil every year. We have only begun to tap our enormous reserves of shale oil and natural gas. Those reserves will insure the future prosperity of the United States. With our own oil, the shale oil from Canada and the oil we import from Mexico our country will soon see no reason to import any oil from the Middle East.

No, Venezuela's economy has been gutted by Socialist policies. Socialism always ends in poverty and misery. The inflation and shortages are symptoms, not causes.

sure this is all a ploy to put all the american companies drilling now out of business by driving the price down. once that happens they will be free to charge whatever they want again for another few years. gas may drop for a year or two, but then it will probably go up to 5+/gal again. they'll get greedy enough eventually that soon the next best alternative becomes the best thing and opec's can go back to the 3rd-world sand-box crap-hole of a countries they were because they don't know how to make anything else of value. i.e. if they charge 1 million per barrel, it would become cheaper to run your vehicle off some expensive liquor or propane, or whatever.

Dictatorships aren't doing well with some free market (semi) competition. Well, the reason why the low crude prices hurt your government controlled economy, is because you dictators refuse to let your citizens enjoy capitalism, so oil is your only export. So lets put the blame on low crude oil prices where it belongs,----citizen owned (semi) capitalism.
