"All preparations have been made to launch the bourse; it will open during the Ten-Day Dawn (the ceremonies marking the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran)," Iran's Finance Minister said. However other reports indicate further delays to this already overdue project, with it possibly opening on February 19th. The Minister earlier stated that the Oil Bourse is located on the Persian Gulf island of Kish.

Western media have failed to report on this significant event, which is believed to be the real reason for the hostility and threats of the western globalist elite toward Iran's peaceful nuclear energy program. It is the brain child of Englishman Chris Cook a former director of the International Petroleum Exchange who blew the whistle on market manipulation at the IPE. He has worked for several years in Iran on a Middle Eastern Energy exchange which has been dubbed the "Iran Oil Bourse (IOB)". He said the system would work as a "Peer to Peer" network using the Internet rather than the traditional centralized method to avoid the market manipulation by intermediary traders which affects other oil trading centres.

Great. The Republicans are probably running with this to implement it here. nt gateley Apr 2012 #1

I would be very surprised if people do not get around the intranet in Cuba. JDPriestly Apr 2012 #23
I've spent quite a bit of time in Cuba, and used the intranet there, and it rarely happens. Daniel537 Apr 2012 #28
