Iran: Oil blackmail ......

On Sunday, the Iranian Minister of Economy went a little further, by clearly evoking the possible repercussions of a worsening of tensions on the oil market.

Iran is the second largest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, with production of approximately 4,2 million barrels per day in 2005, and exports of 2,7 million barrels per day, for a world consumption currently around 84 mbd. The Islamic Republic's announcement Tuesday of its resumption of sensitive nuclear activities, against the advice of Western countries, had already increased the price of a barrel in New York from three dollars in two days, to nearly 65 dollars Thursday.
