Iran-Krise

Gerade war ich noch über die Nachricht in der heutigen NYT verblüfft, die US Regierung versuche mit Hilfe Saudi Arabiens den Ölpreis hinunter zu treiben, um den Iran so um Einnahmen zu bringen, da lese ich in der selben Zeitung an anderer Stelle dies:

Vice President Dick Cheney met with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh in November, but his office would not say if oil was discussed. The White House has been supportive of Saudi energy policy, and President Bush and his father are close with Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi national security minister and former ambassador to Washington.

Although Saudi officials say their oil policy is based on market considerations and not political ones, the meeting in November led to renewed speculation that the kingdom might be tempted to dry out Iran’s ambitions by pushing oil prices down.

Möglich oder nur Spekulation?
