Crude oil ought to be $150 per barrel: Iran

Reuters from the Iranian Students' News Agency -- Benchmark Brent crude prices rose to nearly $118 a barrel on Friday, stoking fears that surging energy costs could harm fragile economic growth. Days earlier, Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said he was worried by high prices and the kingdom would take steps to moderate them.

Iranian oil officials say oil prices are still fairly low and deny there is any danger of current prices hampering growth.

Iranian oil minister Rostam Qasemi said on Sunday crude oil ought to be at least $150 per barrel, the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported.

That is why IRAN has to be kept in check. Let them control the Energy market, and the working class will suffer.

"Khatibi said U.S. and European governments should focus on solving their deep structural issues such as huge budget deficits, rather than blaming rising oil prices for their problems."

That hurts, guess everyone can see inside a glass house...

Sorry @tidalwave3, Big Oil has other plans. "Drill, baby, drill!" to them means "Export, baby, export!" China will be collecting that oil and we'll still be paying through the nose at the gas pump.

"Iran should not be on the earth???"

Who do you intend to send for that mission? Notice that the U.S. is already a little busy in that part of the world?

Yeah, I'm sure the Iranians would love to get Brent to $150. It would sure help us generate more interest in drilling for sub-$100 oil here.

If it goes to $150 and Obama is gone, I believe we start drilling and XL Pipelining to self-sufficient. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE and let China pay $150 :)

The only thing that should be at $150 is the bounty on Qasemi's head!
