Poll: Oil price & Israeli attack on Iran

[longbrained]

With recent news coming in that Israel is preparing to attack Iran with ballistic missiles instead of original air raids because of Israel's frustration with US not attacking Iran, one thing that is going to affect every one around the world is price of oil. One Iranians are going to pay the price by losing their installations, people's lives and loss of scientists beside losing a large chunk of their pride but it is the price of oil that is going to hit people living outside of Iran. Some analysts predict a rise upto above 1000 dollars and some predict no change or even oil becoming cheaper after an attack.

Today the price of a barrel of Brent crude is $112. What do you think will be the price of oil after an Israeli attack on Iran and why?

Here is one analysis which says prices will reach $ 175 after an attack depending on scenario. Just above all time high of 150 dollars. Prices for every liter of fuel at the pump though will depend on how much taxation and refinery commission is in each country.

price will initially go up. However if iran makes its promise of retaliation good and the iranians put up resisitance then price could stay up until its all resolved

here is the thing. Since they said they are going to attack or are thinking of attacking or whatever you must be 100% certain they will not attack. When they surprised attacked the Egyptian and Syrian airfield they did it in a holiday while showing Israelis swimming and partying on TV they will not say we will attack tomorrow get ready for it. The whole point of a surprise attack is for it to be a "Surprise".

That is right. There will be a spike in the first hour of the attack but if the attack continues or Iran continues its retaliation against shipping in the area and the oil fields of the Gulf then the price will go up and stay there.

Anyway I wouldnt worry too much. Its not going to happen. I for once agree with Mossa they wouldnt announce it in this way. Having said that they have been huffing and puffing for 30 years. Mind you Obama might do it to help himself get reelected??

Saudis wouldnt mind that at all. They would be very helpful and assist in any way possible. Do you think they would provide their troops too?

 

[longbrained]

no they dont have balls to fight probably buy some mercenaries from pakistan etc. I mean have you seen those ridiculous long skirts their men wear? how could you fight in them things

Yeah, it is just hypothetical bro. But that is what oil markets are about. Future trading lives on such things.

There could be no surprise attack on Iran coming from Israel. We've installed our own advanced radars in Syria just next to the state of Israel that gives us the ability to neutralize her 'surprise' attack.

Tehran has equipped Damascus with a sophisticated radar system to help thwart a surprise Israeli strike against the Iran's nuclear, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The move would also help bolster the defenses of Syria and Hezbollah against Israel, the newspapers quoted U.S. and Israeli officials as saying.

Good intel is one thing but being able to do something about it is another. The newest threat from Israel is by ballistic missiles which Iran actually do not have any defenses against it at all. The only thing that could have helped Iran was either Antey-2500 system or the S-300 PMU2 which Iran does not have and Russia never even offered it to Iran. Even with those systems Iran needed to have dozens of them to be able to intercept ballistic missiles since Iran is a huge country. The five older S-300 PMU1 which were offered to Iran did not have anti-ballistic missile capability so basically Iran is defenseless when it comes to ballistic missiles just like it was during Iran-Iraq war when Saddam used to hit Iran by Scud-c rockets. Even if Iranian Bavar-373 is built to have some sort of anti-ballistic missile capability still it would be years before Iran would be able to make dozens of them to protect all the sites and cities in Iran.

Again you show your hate for all to see attacking Saudis even in their culture. You sir are blinded by hate.

Actually Americans blame their lives going to $hit on wars. Any president that starts a war will be eaten alive by the people. So from Israeli statements you can see there will be no attack on Iran from them since they are talking about so openly. The Americans wont because no president want to be remembered as the person who killed the USA because the USA economy can not sustain any war especially with Iran which is a tougher opponent than the ones they fought in the past 30 years.

So right now the US is doing its best to ruin relations between Saudi Arabia and the USA because they will only go to war if Saudi Arabia agrees to pay the bill and that is something we will never do. all this ambassador thing and all this Wikileaks crap is just for that to ruin relations to the point of a war which will be paid by our money. Something we are refusing very hardly.
