Hi, I just recently (tonight) picked up on the Iranian Oil Bourse thing, I've spent 2 hours looking through hundreds of sites for a definite solid source on it, OPEC doesn't mention it, no real News site mentions it, trusted economic organisations don't mention it.
In theory, it exists, and is very possible, but I want to know for definite if the Iranians are infact doing it, now I know you all have your quotes from newspapers and novels, but if it is real there MUST be one source out there on the internet that DEFINITELY 100% proves it, is there not a named Iranian Government minister quote? or OPEC comment? or anything like that?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not denying its existence, but you have to understand, I don't leap onto somebody elses boat just because I dislike their enemies, I stand by my own judgement and belief. That and I am completely tired after waisting my night on this and would prefer the one solid source instead of considering all the arguements made here already.
United Press international, Martin Walker, UPI editor:
"The Tehran bourse is listed as an objective for this year in Iran's current five-year plan. The Tehran Times reported July 26 that the final authorizations had been received for the bourse to go ahead. Mohammad Javad Asemipour, the technocrat and former deputy petroleum minister who has been charged with launching the bourse, has made a number of discreet scouting trips to London, Frankfurt, Moscow and Paris. Just after Christmas, he was quoted by the Iran Labor News Agency saying "transparency in oil transactions would be one of the advantages of having such an establishment "(the bourse), and adding that this would "allow dealers access to related information and promote equal trade opportunities."
You'll have to do a google news search for it. I tried to provide link but it was too long.
