What’s really behind falling oil prices? Are there more conspiratorial forces at work here?
There are certainly some who believe so…
According to CNBC, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told a cabinet meeting back on Dec. 10, 2014, that the oil price collapse was “politically motivated” and a “conspiracy against the interests of the region, the Muslim people, and the Muslim world.”
Rouhani also said he had issued orders to his government to take measures to offset the effect of falling oil prices. Interestingly, in the time since this statement, the U.S. and Iran managed to strike a nuclear deal, forfeiting the sanctions once opposed on the Middle-Eastern country. This deal would greatly help Iran’s economy, which is in ruins because of the sanctions.
Echoing Rouhani’s sentiment, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “We all see the lowering of the oil price. There’s lots of talk about what’s causing it.
Could it be the agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to punish Iran and affect the economies of Russia and Venezuela? It could.”
