3. Iran oil bourse to open soon - www.presstv.ir
Iran's petroleum exchange will begin operation in the near future, said the secretary of the country's High Council for Free Trade and Industrial Zones on Saturday. Mahmud Salahi said Iran decided to establish a euro-based oil bourse on the Persian Gulf island of Kish, because "there was no such oil trading body in the region." "Iran's oil bourse could help many countries transact petroleum under more favorable conditions," he said.
• Send forth a "withering spirit" against this plot of the Iranians, who want to undercut and weaken our own currency by selling their oil only on a Euro -- not a dollar -- basis. Pray that the nations will not be intimidated by this insidious plot to control them.
• "Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God is with us.” (Isaiah 8:10) "He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans." (Job 5:12)
