Iran blast panics financial markets
By Angus McDowall in Tehran and Anne Penketh
17 February 2005
 An explosion which turned out to be a dam blast in southern Iran sent 
jitters through financial markets amid speculation that the country's 
only nuclear reactor had come under attack.
The incident came as Iran and Syria announced yesterday that they would 
"form a common front" against external threats, and a day after the 
Islamic state confirmed that unmanned American spy planes were flying 
surveillance missions over nuclear facilities.
Iran's Arabic-language al-Alam satellite channel issued the first 
reports of an explosion in Deylam, about 100 miles from the 
Russian-built atomic plant at Bushehr, citing witnesses who said they 
had seen an aircraft fire a missile.
But the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said the channel had been 
mistaken. Senior Israeli security sources were also quick to state that 
Israel had "no involvement".
Later explanations on state television suggested that a fuel tank had 
fallen from an aircraft.
The news of the explosion caused international stock markets to dip, 
while oil futures prices jumped by nearly a dollar before settling down. 
By the end of the day, however, Ali Reza Afshar, deputy to the chief of 
staff of Iran's armed forces, was playing down the incident. He said 
that "what happened was only a natural part of building work. These were 
heavy blasts carried out for the construction of the dam."
The Islamic republic has been the subject of increased pressure over its 
nuclear power programme, which the US and Israel say is hiding 
substantial efforts to build an atomic bomb.
Only hours before yesterday's explosion, the Israeli Foreign Minister, 
Silvan Shalom, was telling journalists at a breakfast meeting in London 
that Iran was just six months from reaching a critical point of 
knowledge that would allow it to develop a nuclear weapon.

L'Iran sostiene essersi trattato di un incidente avvenuto durante i lavori
costruzione di una diga.
Ad ogni modo, sarebbe interessante conoscere l'ora dell'esplosione.

Interessante ... ma penso che sia il caso.
Comunque questo dimostra che i mercati finanziari giudicano imminente e 
molto probabile un'attacco all'Iran.
Di solito, i mercati non sono informati sul "quando". Ma sanno che si farà 
....
E dunque non tarderà più di tanto...

Guardandoci meglio ... tutto sto' panico dei mercati, non lo vedo ... anzi 
... mi sembra una buona giornata. 

 while oil futures prices jumped by nearly a dollar before settling down.
Se il "balzo" di 1 dollaro sui future e' considerato "panico" mi chiedo che 
cosa si inventeranno il giorno che ci saranno delle vere oscillazioni.
