Iran Oil Bourse to deal blow to dollar

04 January2008The long-awaited Iranian Oil Bourse, a place for trading oil, petrochemicals and gas in various non-dollar currencies, will soon open.

Iran's Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari told reporters the bourse will be inaugurated during the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (February 1-11) at the latest.

"All preparations have been made to launch the bourse; it will open during the Ten-Day Dawn (the ceremonies marking the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran)," he said.

The Minister had earlier stated that the Oil Bourse is located on the Persian Gulf island of Kish.

Some expert opinions hold inauguration of the bourse cold significantly devalue the greenback.   

 

Israelis told to prepare 'rocket rooms' for war

02 February 2008 – Retired senior officers told Israelis on Saturday to prepare "rocket rooms" as protection against a rain of missiles expected to be fired at the Jewish state in any future conflict. Speaking on radio as part of a military propaganda offensive, retired general Udi Shani said: "The next war will see a massive use of ballistic weapons against the whole of Israeli territory."

Shani was tasked recently with drawing up a report on the way the military authorities operated during Israel's 2006 summer war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. During that conflict thousands of rockets hit Israel, but were limited to the north of the country from where hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated. The character of war has changed, said the general.

"Strikes to the rear must now be taken into account -- that is what will come and we must prepare in a totally different way for this eventuality," he said. Another reserve officer, Colonel Yehiel Kuperstein, added: "Protection of civilians must today be assured even inside their homes. "There is no absolute protection, but the best possible sort is that of a room able to provide shelter" inside houses, he said, evoking the norms in force in Israel for several years which envisage each apartment having a room with reinforced walls able to serve as a shelter. "Today in Israel only one third of apartments have such a room able to provide shelter... they have neither an air filter nor ventilation system enabling anyone to stay there for a long time," Kuperstein said.
 

Comments: The Iranian Oil Bourse is set to begin and this will not sit well with the United States. Iran will be selling their Oil for Euros which will have an impact on the U.S. dollar and probably bring it down even more. Before the Iraq war there was speculation that the U.S. went to war because Iraq was about to start trading Oil for Euros and the U.S. would have none of that. Is history about to repeat itself?

 

On the Israeli front, senior retired military officers are telling the population to prepare rocket rooms in the event of war. As far as I know Hezbollah does not have the capability of hitting all of Israel with their rockets because in the last war in 2006 the farthest they (Hezbollah) could reach was Haifa. What the Jewish population are being told to prepare for is most likely Iranian and (possibly) Syrian missiles. Yes, the character of this war has changed because all of Israel is now threatened.

 

Keep an eye on the Iranian Oil Bourse and preparations by the Israeli Home Front for war.

 

Zec 8:13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
