Oil producers interested in stable price - Iran PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 02 July 2008

ImageUNITED NATIONS, July 2 (Reuters) - Oil producing nations are suffering in the same way as oil consumers due to the weak U.S. dollar and increases in production costs and want to work with them to find a stable oil price, Iran said on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to the United Nations, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki also said that the price of oil has been behaving "in a very unnatural manner in the past several months" due to the weak U.S. dollar, market speculation and threats confronting the Middle East region.

  • Reuters: The UK government accused Iran on Thursday of failing to cooperate with a United Nations watchdog and said this increased its concerns over Tehran's nuclear programme.

  • New York Times: Iran has now produced roughly enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.

  • Wall Street Journal: United Nations investigators found "significant" traces of uranium used in reactors at the wreckage of a Syrian facility that Israel bombed last year, and Iran is ramping up production of nuclear fuel while denying investigators access, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Wednesday.

  • Reuters: An inquiry by the U.N. nuclear watchdog into alleged atom bomb research by Iran has degenerated into a silent standoff a few months after Tehran asserted "the matter is over," U.N. officials said on Wednesday.

  • AFP: Iran is still defying UN demands to suspend uranium enrichment and not cooperating with investigations into claims that its nuclear programme has a military aspect, the UN atomic watchdog said Wednesday.

  • Reuters: Iran is aiming to commission its first nuclear power plant in 2009 after years of delays, the official IRNA news agency reported on Tuesday.

  • Los Angeles Times: World powers this week failed to come up with a unified strategy to press Iran on halting controversial elements of its nuclear program, as a report emerged suggesting the country had made progress in advancing a little-examined feature of its atomic infrastructure.

  • AFP: Russia is against fresh sanctions on Iran over its disputed nuclear programme as demanded by some Western powers, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Riabkov said on Friday.

  • Reuters: European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said on Friday further contacts with Iran were possible soon to try to resolve the dispute over its nuclear programme.
